This product is established from one of the SMOS product: the optical thickness. The optical thickness or VOD is obtained directly from SMOS data by use of the multi-angular capability. For low vegetation (grass, crops,...) it is linked mainly to the water content while for forested areas it is more linked to the above ground biomass (AGB). The product is a yearly aggregation of AGB derived using different references (ESA BIOMASS CCI, Avitabile AGB estimates etc...) and is available for SMOS life time (2010 - now)

This product contains average 10 days & monthly salinity field based on L2P products, ascending and descending orbits being processed separately. ** This product is no longer available, see below **

This product is an intermediate product, that provides, in daily files, SSS with qualification flags (associated confidence classes) which allow selecting valid data before averaging. Ascending and descending orbits are processed separately ** This product is no longer available, see below **

This product is radio frequency interference (RFI) probability for each angle bin computed daily and based on a monthly moving window average. Ascending and descending orbits are processed separately, and only in full polarization. ** This product is no longer available, see below **

This product contains average 10 days & monthly salinity field corrected from land-sea contamination and latitudinal bias, based on L2Q products, ascending and descending orbits being processed separately. ** This product is no longer available, see below **

The SARWAVE project is developing a new sea state processor from SAR images to be applied over open ocean, sea ice, and coastal areas, and exploring potential synergy with other microwave and optical EO products.

This product contains average 10 days & monthly salinity field corrected from land-sea contamination and latitudinal bias, based on L2Q products, mixing ascending and descending orbits.

This product is the daily product of soil moisture. The retrievals are based on a multi-orbit retrieval algorithm. Ascending and descending orbits are processed separately.

This product is an aggregation of daily maps of soil moisture, over a 3 day moving window, a decade or a month. Ascending and descending orbits are processed separately.

This product contains daily salinity fields over Arctic from a 9 days temporal gaussian average, corrected from land-sea contamination and latitudinal bias, based on L2Q over Arctic products, mixing ascending and descending orbits.
