Abstract
In this paper we present calibration and validation activities of European Space Agency’s SMOS mission, which utilize airborne interferomentric L-band radiometer system HUT-2D of the Aalto University. During spring 2010 the
instrument was used to measure three SMOS validation
target areas, one in Denmark and two in Germany. We
present these areas shortly, and describe the airborne
activities. We show some exemplary measurements of the
radiometer system and demonstrate the studies using the
data.
