Alexander Löw

Dear ColleaguesI regret to have to tell you a very sad piece of information. One of our colleagues, Alex Löw tragically died in a car accident last week end. He had been with us since the inception of the Cal Val activities for SMOS and has always been very supportive of the passive microwave soil moisture approach. More important he was a very good scientist and we all enjoyed and gained by discussing science with him. He was also very pleasant man, always positive and smiling, never the last to have some fun and never taking himself too seriously. In short a very easy going but serious and enthusiastic colleague. I will for sure miss him a lot.My deepest sympathy goes to his wife and children
