“…Despite this good overall agreement, SMAP SSS can display large fresh biases (up to 4 pss) for a couple of points in the lower salinity range. These large differences may arise from the very strong near‐surface stratification often found in the BoB (i.e., the satellite represents the top millimeter while we use in situ data within 1–5 m depth; Akhil et al, ). A reviewer also pointed out that a potential cause for the saltier Argo salinity measurements in the upper 5 m is Argo CTD mixing near‐surface (shallower than 5 m) waters with waters from 4 to 5 m depth, which might be the depth when Argo floats shut off the pumping.…”

“…SMAP thus provides synoptic, intraseasonal to interannual monitoring of the “river in the sea,” a capability not afforded by in situ data (Figure ). SMAP SSS also presents an advantage over existing satellite SSS retrievals from SMOS, which excluded data from much of the northern BoB due to data quality issues, and Aquarius/SAC‐D, which did not have sufficient resolution to resolve coastal signals (Akhil et al, ).…”

“…Moreover, research on seasonal and interannual variations of SSS in near-coastal and middle/high latitudes is relatively limited due to the low-quality satellite-derived SSS measurements in these regions [18], reinforcing the requirement for accurate SSS measurements to possibly capture the seasonal and interannual variations of SSS. Developing a new payload to obtain high-quality global observations of SSS is necessary.…”
