In preparation for data from SMOS
9 November 2007
Around 90 scientists from all over the world recently met at ESA's facilities in Frascati, Italy to discuss the preparations being made to receive data from ESA's water mission SMOS.
Initially, data from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission will be made available to selected 'Cal/Val Teams' of scientists. These scientists, selected through a dedicated Announcement of Opportunity released by ESA two years ago, will assist the Agency in assessing the quality of the eventual SMOS data products. SMOS is designed to measure moisture in the soil and salt in the oceans to improve our understanding of the Earth's water cycle and ocean circulation patterns.
