2  SMOS Mission Overview  SMOS Bayesian-based Cost Function:  General Formulation  Sensitivity Analysis  Multiple-minima Assessment  Effects of constraints  SMOS Bayesian-based minimization procedure Assessment:  Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) procedure (Monte-Carlo simulations)  Optimization for both SSS and wind speed (U 10 ) retrieval purposes

3 SMOS makes global observations of soil moisture over Earth's landmasses and salinity over the oceans. L-band full-polarized Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS). Data Product Generation System (DPGS) provides consistent SSS, SST and SSR (e.g. U 10 ) retrievals through the SMOS Level 2 Salinity Prototype Processor (L2PP) by processing geolocated TBs provided at the SMOS Level 1C (L1C) after the image reconstruction step. Assessment of the Operational SMOS Bayesian-based inversion procedure to develope a parallel simplified version of the SMOS DPGS inversion scheme for the optimal retrieval of SSS and wind speed at sea (U 10 ).

15  Internal SMOS Bayesian-based processing chain for SSS and U 10 retrieval purposes has been developed.  Low sensitivities of SMOS TB measurements with respect to geophysical parameter changes, especially for SST.  Unique absolute minimum value for all the cost function configurations  Unique triplet solution of SSS-U 10 -SST.  Fixing or constraining SST to an auxiliary value improves the retrieval of SSS and U 10.  Successful assessment of LM minimization procedure for the retrieval of SSS and U 10 by means of realistically simulated SMOS TB measurements.  SSS optimal retrieval  DPGS [SST-U 10 ] configuration.  U 10 optimal retrieval  Fully [SST-SSS-U 10 ] constrained configuration.  Future test with both real SMOS TB data.
