  abstract = {{T}he {S}oil {M}oisture and {O}cean {S}alinity ({SMOS}) satellite was launched by the {E}uropean {S}pace {A}gency on {N}ovember 2, 2009. {I}ts payload, i.e., {M}icrowave {I}maging {R}adiometer with {A}perture {S}ynthesis, which is a 2-{D} {L}-band interferometric radiometer, measures the brightness temperatures ({BT}s) in the protected 1400-1427-{MH}z band. {A}lthough this band was preserved for passive measurements, numerous radio frequency interferences ({RFI}s) are clearly visible in {SMOS} data. {O}ne method to get rid of these interferences is to create a synthetic signal as close as possible to the measured interference and subtract it from the instrument visibilities. {I}n this paper, we describe an approach to create such a signal and on how to use it for geolocalization of the emitters. {T}hen, different methods for assessing the quality of the mitigation are introduced. {D}ue to the complexity of estimating the effects of mitigation globally, it is finally proposed to use mitigation results to create flag maps about the estimated {RFI} impact, to be associated with {BT} measurements.},
