Each method used data from either NASA's Aquarius mission or the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) Earth Explorer mission.

Not exact matches

Scientists are hoping that newer satellites, like Europe's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity or NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive, can start to accumulate long - time series of soil moistuMoisture and Ocean Salinity or NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive, can start to accumulate long - time series of soil moistuMoisture Active Passive, can start to accumulate long - time series of soil moisturemoisture data.

As a result there was an increase in moisture transport out of the Atlantic, which effectively increased the salinity and density, of the ocean surfaces, leading to an abrupt increase in circulation strength and temperature rise.

A number of existing satellites can be used for the task; these include the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) sensor that was launched in 2009 and NASA's Aquarius satellite that was launched in 2011.

An Earth System Model (ESM) is a computer code that uses the mathematics and physics of fluid motion and thermodynamics to predict the Earth's temperature, winds and currents, moisture and / or salinity and pressure in the atmosphere and ocean.

In particular, our team is strongly involved in the scientific algorithm development and data exploitation of the ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission.

The objective of the SMOS mission is to provide Soil Moisture (SM) and Ocean Salinity (OS) maps.

These advances include the near - global three - dimensional sampling by the Argo array of temperature and salinity profiling floats and spaceborne measurements of sea surface salinity using the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) spacecraft and NASA's Aquarius mission aboard the Argentine SAC - D spacecraft (which ceased operations in Junsalinity profiling floats and spaceborne measurements of sea surface salinity using the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) spacecraft and NASA's Aquarius mission aboard the Argentine SAC - D spacecraft (which ceased operations in Junsalinity using the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) spacecraft and NASA's Aquarius mission aboard the Argentine SAC - D spacecraft (which ceased operations in JunSalinity (SMOS) spacecraft and NASA's Aquarius mission aboard the Argentine SAC - D spacecraft (which ceased operations in June 2015).

These images correspond to microwave radiation emitted from Earth's surface and can be related to soil moisture and ocean salinity.

This ocean - to - land moisture transport leaves an imprint on sea surface salinity, making this «nature's rain gauge» to measure the variations of the water cycle.

Anthropogenic influences have contributed to observed increases in atmospheric moisture content in the atmosphere (medium confidence), to global - scale changes in precipitation patterns over land (medium confidence), to intensification of heavy precipitation over land regions where data are sufficient (medium confidence), and to changes in surface and subsurface ocean salinity (very likely).
