However, for some applications, there are still some limitations in the use of the Level-2 ocean salinity product. First, the SSS measurements are still affected by a latitudinal and seasonal bias. Second, the high standard deviation of the SSS error could significantly degrade part of the SSS signal. Finally, the coverage of the Level-2 salinity measurements is significantly reduced after applying filtering criteria to discard the poor-quality retrievals. In this work, we apply nodal sampling to the SMOS brightness temperatures (TBs), which effectively reduces the standard deviation of the TB error; then, we use debiased non-Bayesian retrieval for the mitigation of systematic biases on SSS and the statistical filtering criteria of the degraded salinity retrievals; and finally, we comprehensively characterize the residual latitudinal and seasonal biases and derive a correction for the retrieved SSS. We generate three years of an enhanced SMOS Level-2 Ocean Salinity product and we compare its performances with the ones corresponding to the European Space Agency SMOS Level-2 Ocean Salinity product (v662) With the funding support of the ‘Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence’ accreditation (CEX2019-000928-S), of the Spanish Research Agency (AEI) Peer reviewed 2020-11-20T07:43:50Z 2020-11-20T07:43:50Z 2020-10 artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing 13: 6434-6453 (2020) 1939-1404 CEX2019-000928-S http://hdl.handle.net/10261/223214 10.1109/JSTARS.2020.3034432 2151-1535 http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 en Publisher's version https://doi.org10.1109/JSTARS.2020.3034432 Sí open Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
