Earth Exploration Satellite Service passive Two types of passive bands:  P= primary exclusive (RR 5.340 « All emissions are prohibited»), which enables the passive services to deploy and operate their systems  p = primary passive bands shared with other active services, in general terrestrial services (FS, MS) Typical bands and their main application:  1400-1427 MHz: salinity (ocean), soil moisture (ground)  10.6-10.7 MHz: rain, snow, ice, sea state, ocean wind  23.6-24 GHz: total content of water vapour  31.3-31.5 GHz: the lowest cumulated effects due to oxygen and water vapour in the vicinity of the 50 GHz band.
