The Scanning Low Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SLFMR) is an airborne passive microwave radiometer operated by NOAA. It measures brightness temperature in the L-band (1.4 GHz) to map sea surface salinity at a resolution of 200 meters. It has a narrow bandwidth of 24 MHz and a sampling interval of 0.5 seconds. It is mainly used for retrieving sea surface salinity, but has also been used for mapping surface soil moisture content.
