Abstract
The CoSMOS (Campaign for validating the
Operation of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission)
campaign was conducted during November of 2005 in the
Goulburn River Catchment, in SE Australia. The main objective
of CoSMOS was to obtain a series of L-band measurements from
the air in order to validate the L-band emission model that will
be used by the SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) ground
segment processor. In addition, the campaign was designed to
investigate open questions including the sun-glint effect over
land, the application of polarimetric measurements over land,
and to clarify the importance of dew and interception for soil
moisture retrievals. This paper summarises the campaign
activities, and presents progress on the analysis of the CoSMOS
data set.
