The results indicate that the SSMAP and SSMOS agreed well with SArgo before and after 10 TCs. It can be seen that the correlation between SSMAP and SArgo (before TCs: SSMAP = 0.95SArgo + 1.52, R2 = 0.83; after TCs: SSMAP = 0.87SArgo + 4.34, R2 = 0.79) was obviously higher than that of SSMOS and SArgo (before TCs: SSMOS = 0.68SArgo + 10.38, R2 = 0.62; after TCs: SSMOS = 0.88SArgo + 3.98, R2 = 0.58). The root mean square error (RMSE) was also significantly higher between SSMOS and SArgo (before TCs: 0.84 psu; after TCs: 0.78 psu) than between SSMAP and SArgo (before TCs: 0.58 psu; after TCs: 0.47 psu). In addition, this study compared SSMAP and SSMOS during two TCs that swept in nearshore and offshore waters, and the results show good agreement between SSMAP and SArgo in the nearshore and offshore waters of BoB. In the BoB, both SSMAP and SSMOS can retrieve sea surface salinity well, and SSMAP is overall better than SSMOS, but the SMOS salinity product can fill the gap of SMAP from 2010 to 2015.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14153733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,5]],"date-time":"2022-08-05T02:12:39Z","timestamp":1659665559000},"page":"3733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Performance of SMAP and SMOS Salinity Products under Tropical Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Huabing","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}]},{"given":"Yucai","family":"Shan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4248-1397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangjun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai), Zhuhai 519000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2133","DOI":"10.1016\/1352-2310(94)00238-G","article-title":"Implications of climatic variations in the fresh water outflow on the wind-induced circulation of the Bay of Bengal","volume":"29","author":"Dube","year":"1995","journal-title":"Atmos.
