Summary

Abstract: The SMOS L2 SSS processor derives one geophysical parameter, the Sea Surface Salinity. The iterative retrieval method that is implemented in the processor is able to derive some information on other geophysical parameters depending on the forward model used in the iterative scheme. The forward model accounts for main contributions to the measurements. For one of these contributions, the one due to ...
