14 Summary Ascending - Descending – South of about 45°S, a spatial pattern of alternating positive/negative ascending- descending node differences exists, regularly spaced and centered between the multiples of 45° of longitude – Notable temporal variability for the region south of 30°. The synchronization of the Aquarius variability with the solstices would seem to indicate that reflected galactic noise is the cause Aquarius and SMOS have significantly differently temporal variability, bringing into question that reflected galactic noise is the underlying cause – Zonally, SMOS has a distinct negative trend for 60°S-50°N Satellite vs Argo floats – In the Southern Hemisphere, SMOS data seasonality is approximately the inverse of Aquarius data seasonality – SMOS data exhibits more seasonality in the Northern Hemisphere than Aquarius data – SMOS data bias in the Northern Hemisphere is notably different from Aquarius data bias Regional analysis – SMOS and Aquarius (ADPS & CAP) have notably different correlations with SST, precipitation, and wind speed, depending on the particular region. 14
