Abstract/Summary

The purpose of this document (D.4 Product Validation and Intercomparison Report, PVIR, document version v1.0) is to describe the results of the validation of the Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) products obtained during the ESA CCI+ SSS project when compared with other data sources. The PVIR is a requirement of the Statement of Work (Task 3 SoW ref. ESA-CCI-PRGM-EOPS-SW-17- 0032). The PVIR contains a list of all reference datasets used for validation of each SSS product. Two products are assessed, the level 4 (1) monthly and (2) weekly products based on a temporal optimal interpolation of SSS data measured by SMOS, Aquarius-SAC and SMAP satellite missions. Both gridded products have a resolution of ~25 km on an EASE 2 grid.
