- •
First SMOS and Aquarius space–time sea surface salinity (SSS) variability estimates
- •
Overall agreement on SSS scales from different SMOS and Aquarius products
- •
Strong anisotropy in Tropical Atlantic SSS, with seasonally dominated variability
- •
Larger scales of SSS anomaly in Sargasso Sea, and preserved anisotropy in Tropics
- •
Longer spatial scales from Aquarius products than SMOS in the Southern Atlantic
