Dear SMOS data user –We would like to inform you that the reprocessed level 2 soil moisture and sea surface salinity data are now available on the new ESA SMOS Online Dissemination service: https://smos-ds-02.eo.esa.int/oads/access/.This release aligns the Level 2 soil moisture and sea surface salinity data available operationally already since May 2015 with the reprocessed data archive: SMOS data users now have a complete v6 data set available.The algorithm evolutions implemented in the v6 data set are described in the respective Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Documents (ATBDs) and in the read-me-first notes: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/missions/esa-operational-eo-missions/smos/content/-/asset_publisher/t5Py/content/data-types-levels-formats-7631. We would like to encourage all users to familiarise themselves with the read-me-first notes before using the data. The level 2 reprocessed data products are available on the new ESA SMOS Online Dissemination service accessible here (smos-diss.eo.esa.int). The new service allows to access data by https and ftp/ftps transfer protocols for all registered ESA EO Single Sign-On (EO-SSO) users. The online service facilitates the data access with enhanced functionality for data navigation and selection by data type, acquisition time, geographical area and data format (i.e. ESA Earth Explorer (EEF) or NetCDF format).SMOS level 1 brightness temperature data and  ECMWF auxiliary products are also available from the new ESA SMOS Online Dissemination service.For further details on how to access the SMOS data  and how to register as ESA EO_SSO please https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/missions/esa-operational-eo-missions/smos/content/-/asset_publisher/t5Py/content/how-to-obtain-data-7329.Kind regardsSusanne Mecklenburg
