SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) is a earth observation satellite operated by ESA. It is intented to provide new insights into Earth's water cycle and climate.
As the Pacific Ocean moves into an El Niño phase, scientists are monitoring changes in sea-surface temperature, but also sea-surface salinity – which is another key indicator of this phenomenon.
Data from ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission can be used to estimate how much carbon is stored in forests – and a study has improved our understanding of how reliable this proxy is and how long-term datasets from SMOS ca…
