Future potential use of SMOS

SMOS can potentially help in the future for the Copernicus Emergency and Management Service (CEMS), specifically for research and development related to the European Forest Fire Information System, SMOS measurements can be used to identify ignition potential, the available fuel for burning, and the modulation of fire emissions. For flood forecasting within the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS), SMOS can be used to assess the flood susceptibility.
