Description
Summary:The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission has been collecting data for over 7 years. The whole data set has been reprocessed (Version 620 for levels 1 and 2 and version 3 for level 3 CATDS) an used to see trends and finalise potential applications. This ESA led mission for Earth Observation is dedicated to provide soil moisture over continental surfaces (with an accuracy goal of 0.04 m3/m3), vegetation water content over land, and ocean salinity. After 7 years it seems important to start using data for having a look at anomalies and see how they can relate to large scale events. Also we now have access the Soil Moisture Active and Passive (SMAP) mission and there are obvious synergisms to infer.
