Statement

The base products, for all the CATDS-PDC (Centre Aval de Traitement des Données SMOS - Production & Dissemination Center) processing chains, are the SMOS L1B products - https://doi.org/10.57780/SM1-e20cf57 - from ESA (European Space Agency).

The L3SM simple User Data 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.

Products from reprocessing RE07 are available for the period 01/2010 - 05/2021. Products from operational (OPER) processing are available since 25/05/2021. Reprocessed products and operational products are derived using the same algorithm and configuration, hence ensuring the temporal continuity.

File naming :

SM_clas_MIR_CLF3Sx_startdate_enddate_vvv_ccc_7

- clas : File class (OPER : operational mode, REXX : reprocessing xx)

- x : A for ascending orbit, D for descending orbit

- startdate : sensing start date/time of the data (format yyyymmddThhmiss)

- enddate : sensing end date/time of the data (format yyyymmddThhmiss)

- vvv : version number of the processor generating the product

- ccc : file counter

File format :

In each archive file (.tgz extension), there are two files

- A Header file (.HDR), which is a text file, in XML Earth Explorer Header format

- A Data file (.DBL.nc), which is a netcdf file, format variant 2 (netcdf 3 with 64 bits offset option)
