Dear colleagues,The 3rd Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop took place in September 2016 in New York City. The workshop summary has just been published in the GEWEX newsletter (p 29-31). You may want to look at it and note that at the end (page 31) it states that “The workshop participants recommended that instruments taking passive microwave L-Band measurements be continued in new constellations of satellites (i.e., complementing the ASCAT and AMSR series, and the Sentinel-1s).”
