This requires the implementation of Big Data algorithms and specialized data management techniques, with a particular focus on optimizing interpolations and projections. These processing steps are critical as they propagate measurement errors and significantly increase computational time. This work presents a new interpolation algorithm for satellite missions where individual values for each measurement are retrieved. We conduct this study using the sea surface salinity (SSS) processor of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. However, it can easily be extended to other multiangular acquisition missions. We suggest keeping the measurements within the instrument coordinate system (antenna coordinates) until the final product is generated. This allows us to avoid multiple projection-related errors during the intermediate interpolations. Additionally, we introduce a novel algorithm to project those measurements, taking into account the actual area of the acquisitions instead of considering them as points. Therefore, measurements are weighted based on the area they cover over the Earth. This method is numerically optimized to transform 2-D areas into discrete measurements, increasing its computational efficiency and favoring parallelization. The methodology was successfully tested using the SMOS mission’s SSS processor at the Barcelona Expert Center (BEC). Final level 3 SSS maps maintain a high resolution close to the one native on the instrument, enabling the characterization of ocean dynamics at finer scalesThis workw as supported in part by the European Space Agency through the SMOS Expert Support Laboratory (ESL) for SMOS Level 1 and Level 2 over Land, Ocean, and Ice under Grant 4000130567/20/I-BG, in part by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100-011033 through the projects EO4TIP and INTERACT under Grant PID2023-149659OB-C21 and Grant PID2020-114623RB-C31, and in part by the CSIC Thematic Interdisciplinary Platform PTI Teledetect, through the “Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence” accreditation underGrant CEX2019-000928-SPeer reviewedInstitute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)European Space AgencyMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202620262026info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/418928reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
