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 …

Sun glint, the specular reflection of light from water surfaces, is a serious confounding factor
for remote sensing of water column properties and benthos. This paper reviews current …

Fully updated, with significant new coverage of advances in satellite oceanography and
results from new satellite missions, the second edition of this popular textbook introduces …

Aquarius is an L-band radiometer and scatterometer instrument combination designed to
map the salinity field at the surface of the ocean from space. The instrument is designed to …

Global surface ocean salinity measurements have been available since the launch of SMOS
in 2009 and coverage was further enhanced with the launch of Aquarius in 2011. In the …

Aquarius is an L-band radiometer system designed to map sea surface salinity from space.
This is a sensitive measurement, and protection from radio frequency interference (RFI) is …

Aquarius was launched in June 2011 to monitor the global salinity field in the open ocean.
This radiometer/scatterometer (ie, passive/active) instrument is part of the Aquarius/SAC-D …

Aquarius is an L-band radar/radiometer instrument combination that has been designed to
measure ocean salinity. It was launched on 10 June 2011 as part of the Aquarius/SAC-D …

A numerical simulator has been developed to study remote sensing from space in the
spectral window at 1.413 GHz (L-band), and it has been used to optimize the cold-sky …

Ocean salinity and temperature differences drive thermohaline circulation. These properties
also play a key role in the ocean‐atmosphere coupling. With the availability of L‐band space …
