Niels Skou (EMIRAD-1) EMIRAD-1 was in VAS until now. It would be more interesting to get full polarimetric measurements over the water so the idea came to deploy the EMIRAD-1 at FINO-1. EMIRAD-1 will come back to DTU for refurbishment (new antenna) by the end of 2007. Then J-P Wigneron would like to deploy it near Bordeaux until the summer 2008. D. Stammer proposal using EMIRAD-1 at FINO-1 would then be well suited to come in fall 2008.

AESMIR NASA Full multi 20 Real SMOS WORKSHOP october 2007, ESRIN L-band Airborne Radiometers Ed Kim (AESMIR) AESMIR's bands are C-band and 10,18,23,37,89 GHz. While that does not allow direct cal/val of SMOS L-band observations, synergies are possible with simultaneous airborne observations, especially to determine vegetation/soil temperature, etc. Ed Kim is ready to collaborate if there is a way to fly AESMIR with an L-band instrument. Another idea would be to fly some RFI detection equipment from GSFC, by either connecting it to an existing L-band instrument already planned to fly, or other L-band receivers of GFSC that can easily be packed for such purposes. Jeff Walker (PLMR) Jeff Walker just got word of funding for a 4-year project to commence in Jan 2008, with 100hrs of flying for each of 2009, 2010 and 2011. While there is some flexibility, his current plan is to fly a SMOS sized pixel in the Simpson Desert and as large a pixel as possible of tropical forest at several times of year in 2008, and then fly an approximately 100km x 600km transect across the Murrumbidgee catchment, including the monitoring network, for the remainder of the flight time. This would be coordinated for different seasons of the year with as wide a range of land surface conditions and moisture contents as possible. Also, PLMR is so easy to install, it can be added on almost any aircraft already planned to fly. David Levine (ESTAR and 2DSTAR) 2D-STAR does aperture synthesis in two dimensions (like SMOS) and at both polarizations (H and V). This instrument is available for future campaigns. It was developed as a follow-on to ESTAR. ESTAR is still around and actually flew two missions with the GSFC L-band radar last winter. But, most likely, 2D-STAR will fly in any future campaigns for soil moisture remote sensing.
