Yes SMOS has been orbiting the Earth for over 5 years now!And SMOS has been granted an extension which should take us for another 5 years.To Celebrate just look at this animation prepared by Ahmad Albitar based on the SMOS median soil moisture retrievals. Just click, look and you will see many features…. The red bars in the bottom indicate the months of the pictures . It is a 3 months running window.
Or, in term of brightness temperatures, (still done by Ahmad) but in percentiles with also many features to be seen!
