Abstract
L-band passive microwave remote sensing sensors are able to provide estimates of the surface soil moisture on both spatial and temporal scales compatible with applications in the fields of meteorology and hydrology. This paper presents the design work for the soil moisture retrieval algorithm developed in the frame of the SMOS mission.
