Impact on Sea Surface Salinity Retrieval of Multisource Auxiliary Data within the SMOS Mission
Abstract
Aiming to provide Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) maps with a spatio-temporal averaged accuracy of 0.1 psu, the SMOS community is increasingly focusing on the determination of a robust inversion scheme to enable SSS retrieval from L-band brightness temperature data. In the framework of the Synergetic Aspects and Auxiliary Data Concepts for Sea Surface Salinity Measurements from Space project, efforts have been oriented towards a quantitative analysis of SSS retrieval once different auxiliary data are plugged into the minimization procedure, providing statistical distributions of the spatio-temporal averaged errors.
