Precipitation Measurement and Analysis

European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is perturbed by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) that jeopardizes part of its scientific retrieval in certain areas of the world. Areas affected by RFI might experience data loss or underestimation of soil moisture and ocean salinity retrieval values. To alleviate this situation, the SMOS team has put several strategies into place that help improve the RFI situation, filter the SMOS data from RFI perturbed measurements and bring awareness to the RFI problem.
