Abstract
The SMOS data product steps from raw data to brightness temperature maps are described. Originally ordered in the sequence of snapshots, the data are rearranged for the level 1c Brightness Temperature maps according to their location in a Discrete Global Grid (DGG). A number of candidate DGGs are introduced and their suitability is evaluated
