SMOS NG Requirements
After the first set of L-band missions (SMOS, Aquarius, SMAP…), new applications and science topics have emerged for both operational and science users. In this context, this project aims at defining the requirements for future low frequency passive microwave observation systems (specifically L-band) based on end-user requirements, both operational and science teams, and to specify their needs in terms of information requirements and geophysical data products.
isardSAT is leading the review of current applications using L-band data. This list will report for each product: accuracy in physical units, temporal and spatial resolution requirements, application readiness level, scientist readiness level, and L-band uniqueness.
