Abstract
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite has provided, for the very first time, systematic passive L-band (1420-1427 MHz) measurements from space with a spatial resolution of ~50 Km. This contribution presents preliminary results of studies conducted for a High Resolution (HR) follow-on mission. The SMOS-HR project is currently undergoing a Phase 0 study by the French space agency. The goal is to ensure continuity of L-band measurements while increasing the spatial resolution to ~10 Km without degrading the radiometric sensitivity and keeping the revisit time of 3 days unchanged.
