SMOS L2 full reprocessing
Relaxed masking policy to show more data
by Sylvain Herlédan

Storm trajectory and wind radii from IBTrACS and SMOS L2 wind data with the nominal masking policy
We received feedback stating that most pixels flagged as "poor" quality can still offer insightful information in the aforementioned cases and could therefore be of interest, at least for visualisation purposes. The tradeoff is that pixels with really poor quality are also shown, this is notably the case with the pixels closer to the coastline or over ice.
