#CryoSat has been in orbit since 2010, but a new preprint shows its long term records improve Arctic sea ice thickness data going back to 1992! It's thanks to #CryoSat and SMOS satellite data & correcting historic models with present observations 💅 👉egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024…



Excited to share our latest publication on estimating uncertainties in satellite-derived #SoilMoisture at a global scale using International Soil Moisture Network data, led by our colleagues at Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère : doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.… ESA Earth Observation SMOS satellite CLIMERS


🛰️ 🇨🇳 SMOS satellite data reveal that 170 Million ton of C per year were removed from the atmosphere and stored in biomass in China from 2015 to 2021 Please check our new publication ⤵️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… by Hongqian Fang JP WIGNERON

📢New #PhD Position opening ! In the SMOS satellite team at Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère in #Toulouse Monitoring of forest fuels (biomass, water content) in the boreal forest by multi-source satellite remote sensing 👉More details : labo.obs-mip.fr/smos-blog/phd-…


Contribution by Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère to American Meteorological Society's 34th State of the Climate, whose report states that : “the increase in global soil moisture observed over the previous 4 years reversed in 2023, and the soil moisture values declined back to 2020 levels" labo.obs-mip.fr/smos-blog/stat…


New study combines SMOS satellite passive microwave data (more precisely : vegetation optical depth) and optical observations to derive annual above-ground carbon variations Much more info👇

Next week we will be in #RAQRS24 Symposium in Torrent (#Valencia), presenting our research on: 💧#SoilMoisture indexes to predict #drought ❄️Estimations of water equivalent from snow 🧊SMOS satellite sea ice thickness retrieval See you there! 🔗ipl.uv.es/raqrs/




In #RAQRSVII we presented a methodology based on #MachineLearning that provides high accuracy & improved sea ice thickness estimates from SMOS satellite data. 🛰️🧊 It has been developed together with ICM-CSIC & validated against in situ data from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).


For those near #Toulouse this Saturday 5 October !! The Observatoire MP opens its doors for the Fête de la Science #FDS2024 (French-speaking event) 👉 The program is available here : news.obs-mip.fr/fete-de-la-sci… The SMOS team will be waiting for you from 14:00 🛰️🖌️


Many thanks to everyone who helped make the Fête de la Science a success! 🙌 #FDS2024 The SMOS team was present at both the Cité de l'espace and the Observatoire MP in Toulouse on 4 and 5 October. Congrats to all the artists who participated in the SMOS Pictionary : labo.obs-mip.fr/smos-blog/smos…



Soil moisture anomalies, biomass changes, drought index, hurricane wind speeds: over the course of its long mission, European Space Agency's SMOS satellite has delivered data on tons of different variables. SMOS was launched on 2 November 2009: happy launch day!


🛰️❄️SMOS improved spatial resolution of snow melt monitoring (~30 km) unveils a large increase in the melt signal detected on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets Access to @IGE_Grenoble new product and to the recently published article : 👉labo.obs-mip.fr/smos-blog/a-sm… National Snow and Ice Data Center


Roll up roll up! Everyone at Space Weather Week head down to see Roberta & Leda present Swarm & SMOS #SpaceWeather synergies! Great chance to read about when Swarm and SMOS teamed up to spot a huge solar storm 📸 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺🇩🇪 Guram / გურამი 👉esa.int/Applications/O…
