8 May 2014 SMOS+SOS at International Meetings

Researchers from the SMOS+SOS project have recently been talking about their science at two major international science meetings. The first meeting was the 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting with 5600 participants (www.sgmeet.com/osm2014) and the second meeting was the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2014 with an impressive 12,400 delegates from a variety of scientific disciplines.

The Ocean Sciences meeting also provided an opportunity for a meeting of the Satellite and In Situ Salinity (SISS) Working Group (www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/SISS) and the presentations are available at siss.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/index.php/presentations.

Some of the presentations from the two meetings are given below.
