SMOS has a better look at salinity
Description: As with any Earth observation mission, it is important to validate the readings acquired from space. This involves comparing the satellite data with measurements taken directly in the water. For the SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) satellite, that means comparing its readings to data from floats or drifters that measure ocean salinity at different depths.
