Les principales étapes du projet SMOS sur le site du CNES

• Site web d'EADS/CASA
• Site web d'Alcatel Alenia Space
• Site web des Lanceurs ROCKOT
• Site web d'ACRI
• Site web d' ARRAY

Site web du SMOS L1 Processor Prototype (L1PP) : visualization tools, Seps Ground segment (SEPS-GS), Binary XML library, SMOS data conversion tools... plenty of useful resources and results

data sets

• The NSIDC page : for passive microwave data and Snow and Ice data
• The Global Soil Wetness project Page for the existing soil wetness data and research
• Global soil Moisture Data Bank for soil moisture data sets
• Other data sets of interest from USDA Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture, hydrology experiment...
• see also the SMOS sector performed by the "LOCEAN" laboratory you can access salinity data and in situ measurements ( CAROLS campaigns)

Experiment and Mission
