  abstract = {{T}he {E}uropean {S}pace {A}gency's {S}oil {M}oisture and {O}cean {S}alinity ({SMOS}) mission is perturbed by radio frequency interferences ({RFI}s) that jeopardize part of its scientific retrieval in certain areas of the world, particularly over continental areas in {E}urope, {S}outhern {A}sia, and the {M}iddle {E}ast. {A}reas affected by {RFI} might experience data loss or underestimation of soil moisture and ocean salinity retrieval values. {T}o alleviate this situation, the {SMOS} team has put strategies in place that, one year after launch, have already improved the {RFI} situation in {E}urope where half of the sources have been successfully localized and switched off.},
