-
The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite Sea Surface
Salinity (SSS) V3.0 validated data are available from Remote Sensing
Systems. The near-polar orbit of SMAP allows for complete global
coverage of the oceans in 3 days with a repeat cycle of 8 days. Only
Level-3 products of the SMAP SSS V3.0 validated release are archived
in this dataset:
* 8-day running averages
* monthly averages
* monthly (RF) rain-filtered averages
All products are provided at two spatial resolutions: 40km and
70km. For most open ocean applications, the 70km products are the
best to use as they have significantly lower noise. All files are in
NetCDF 4 format and are CF/ACDD compliant.
