Sea Surface Salinity plays a fundamental role in density-driven global ocean circulation, the water cycle, and climate systems.
The CCI+ phase of the Sea Surface Salinity project will fully exploit data from ESA’s Earth Explorer SMOS mission, complemented by the SMAP and AQUARIUS satellite missions. This project brings together teams specializing in Earth observation remote sensing, satellite data validation, and climate variability research.
