The entire SMOS L1B archive has been reprocessed with the latest version of the Sea Surface Wind Speed processor V300 which was deployed into the SMOS wind near real time service in August 2021.

With this reprocessing campaign executed by IFREMER a consistent set of level 2 swath based wind, level 3 daily map wind and level 4 Tropical Cyclone Wind Radii Fixes are now available from the SMOS dissemination service.
