  1. OS objectives for 2nd mission reprocessing The SMOS L2 OS Team

  2. OS 2nd reprocessing objectives • New galactic model formulation • Roughness models fitted to reprocessed data and validated • Stokes 3: optimisation of TEC retrieval, RFI • Flags need improvement (better thresholds, simplification?) • Hopefully reformulated OTT strategy:

  3. 1st reprocessing L2-OS performance summary The SMOS L2 OS Team

  4. OS 1st reprocessing performance • L2OS reprocessing not yet started

  5. Product performance improvement, investigation avenues and planned methodology The SMOS L2 OS Team

  6. OS reprocessing analysis plan • Reprocessed L2OS will be analysed following (or adapting) the SMOS L2 OS Product Performance Evaluation Plan (SO-PL-ARG-GS-0055 L2OS-PPEP_v4.1_110907): • Priority 1 • Range of retrieved SSS and deviation from climatology data • Regional variations • Land contamination • RFI detection & mitigation • Absolute accuracy of retrieved results; comparison with external sources • Quality fields and flags • Time stability of the results • Sun/moon glint and Galactic Noise • Tuning roughness models 1/2/3 • Issue new Product Performance Status Report

  7. Investigation for 2nd reprocessing • New galactic model formulation • Don’t know possible impact on algorithm, then processor delivery • Roughness models fitted to reprocessed data and validated • Stokes 3: optimisation of TEC retrieval, RFI • Don’t know possible impact on algorithm, then processor delivery • Flags need improvement (better thresholds, simplification?) • Hopefully reformulated OTT strategy: • Full understanding of reprocessing OTTs • Examining impact in SSS time series • Review OTT update strategy in view of L1 improvements • Status of multiplicative, model-free OTT investigation

  8. Investigation for 2nd reprocessing • And on top of this: Expecting to see significant L1 improvements Checked efficiency of different land/sea LO calibration rate

  9. Performance status v550 The SMOS L2 OS Team

  10. New SMOS OS L3 maps New • Optimally interpolated salinity maps generated at BEC from DPGS operational L2 products • 10 days, 1ox1o, updated every 3 days http://www.smos-bec.icm.csic.es/
