Abstract
The European Space Agency SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) mission is scheduled for launch in early 2007. SMOS will exploit an innovative instrument designed as a 2D interferometer acquiring globally brightness temperatures at L-band (1.4GHz) to retrieve soil moisture fields over the land surfaces and ocean salinity fields over the oceans. Considering the exploratory nature of the salinity measurement with SMOS, the GODAE open ocean requirement (0.1, practical salinity scale, over 200 km every 10 days) represents a technically challenging objective that has been set as a goal for the mission.
