  1. I tried to register for SMOS L2 data but still I couldn’t any information about my registration details although it mentioned about 2-3 days as of replying duration on the above web site. I would be grateful if someone could suggest me a another way to access SMOS L2 data .Thank you.

  2. Hello\n\nSorry for the late answer!\nYou can also try the CATDS site. It is much more accessible (only send one mail to get an account).\nYou will not get L2 data there but something derived from lvel 3 which is very equivalent but in a more user’s friendly format (EASE grid and NetCDF) and with the the possibility to get extracts\ngo to our post in this blog or to CATDS (http://catds.ifremer.fr/)\nCheers\nSmos Team

  3. Please, I am looking for this data isea4h9_land.txt.gz which is currently unavailable on your website. I would appreciate it if you could send it to me or direct me to where I can download it. I am currently working on downscaling SMOS L2 SM estimates over Ghana.
    Best regards,

  4. Dear Colleague
    I suggest you contact either Raffaele Crapolicchio at ESA (Raffaele.Crapolicchio@ext.esa.int) or Philippe Richaume at CESBIO (philippe.richaume@cesbio.cnes.fr) who will be able to direct you to the right file.
    Sincerely
    Yann
