Abstract
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite is performing systematic L-band observations since 2009, allowing a large number of science and operational applications. Several recent studies have shown the need of the continuity of L-band observations, in particular with an increased angular resolution. In this contribution, two instrumental concepts are presented to reach native resolutions of 5–10 km. In addition, using airborne data, it is also shown that the accuracy of downscaling coarser resolution L-band data to 5–10 km using a high resolution auxiliary data set, is significantly lower than that of native high resolution observations.
