Remotely sensed data can reinforce the abilities of water resources researchers and
decision makers to monitor waterbodies more effectively. Remote sensing techniques have …

Ocean color measured from satellites provides daily global, synoptic views of spectral water-
leaving reflectances that can be used to generate estimates of marine inherent optical …

Sea-surface temperature (SST) was one of the first ocean variables to be studied from earth
observation satellites. Pioneering images from infrared scanning radiometers revealed the …

Operated since the end of 2009, the European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture and
Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission is the first orbiting radiometer that collects regular …

It is now well understood that data on soil moisture and sea surface salinity (SSS) are
required to improve meteorological and climate predictions. These two quantities are not yet …

Advances in L-band microwave satellite radiometry in the past decade, pioneered by ESA's
SMOS and NASA's Aquarius and SMAP missions, have demonstrated an unprecedented …

The contrast between the point‐scale nature of current ground‐based soil moisture
instrumentation and the ground resolution (typically> 102 km2) of satellites used to retrieve …

The Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (OMIP) is an endorsed project in the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). OMIP addresses CMIP6 science …

Abstract The Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO) is a convectively coupled 30–70 day
(intraseasonal) tropical atmospheric mode that drives variations in global weather but which …

Salinity observing satellites have the potential to monitor river fresh-water plumes
mesoscale spatio-temporal variations better than any other observing system. In the case of …
