Getting-down-to-business-SMOS-operations-and-products.pdf
SMOS will be the first satellite mission to provide global measurements of two key variables in the water cycle, soil moisture and ocean salinity. But how do we get from the first observations to meaningful data on the various characteristics of Earth's surface?

Draft-specification-of-ATSR-SADIST-2-products.pdf
This document is a draft specification of the scientific products from RAL's SADIST-2 ATSR data-processing software. Since SADIST-2 is being developed such that it can process data from both ATSR-1 and ATSR-2 instruments, the products described here have been designed to be sufficiently flexible and modular that they are equally valid for either instrument.
