Improved BEC SMOS Arctic Sea Surface Salinity product v3.1

Justino Martinez et al.

Summary: Measuring salinity from space is challenging due to its low sensitivity to sea surface salinity. The European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Arctic+Salinity project in 2019 to produce an enhanced Arctic sea surface salinity product with improved quality and resolution. The product utilizes improved methodologies to achieve better spatial resolution and benefits the monitoring of mesoscale structures and river discharge.

Using Remotely Sensed Sea Surface Salinity and Colored Detrital Matter to Characterize Freshened Surface Layers in the Kara and Laptev Seas during the Ice-Free Season

Marta Umbert et al.

Summary: The volume of freshwater entering the Arctic Ocean is increasing, largely due to glacier melt and increased river runoff. River discharge, especially from the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena rivers, plays a significant role in freshwater input to the Arctic system. The study highlights a strong negative correlation between Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) and the absorption coefficient of colored detrital matter (CDM) in regions influenced by freshwater, indicating the potential of using SSS data to monitor changes in river discharge in Eurasia.
