ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is perturbed with Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI) that jeopardize part of its scientific retrievals in some areas in the World, especially over continental areas in Europe, south Asia and the Middle East. Areas affected by RFIs might led to data loss or to underestimation of soil moisture and salinity retrievals, The SMOS team has put in place a few strategies that, one year after launch, have already improved the RFI situation in Europe where half of the sources have been switched off. Index Terms Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) Mission, Radio FrequencyInterferences, L-Band radiometry, satellite remote sensing.
