The February 2009 issue of the ESA Bulletin, is an 'SMOS' special, giving a closer look at different aspects of SMOS, ESA's 'water' mission due for launch later this year. The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is the first dedicated to measuring both the moisture in soil and salt in the surface waters of the oceans. By mapping soil moisture and ocean salinity, it will further our understanding of Earth's water cycle. These data are key to advancing research into global and regional climate change, as well as weather and extreme-event forecasting. |
