Abstract
ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission [1] has been in orbit for over 11 years, and its Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) in two dimensions keeps being fully operational. This II-year long lifetime of SMOS, so far, has enabled the calibration and Level-1 processor team to improve the calibration procedures and the image reconstruction resulting in a new version of the Level-1 data processor, v724. To present the main performance features of this new version and the improvement in the calibration procedures constitute the main objective and content of this presentation.
