Abstract: 
This paper presents an overview of the Sub-daily Land Atmosphere INTEractions (SLAINTE) mission. SLAINTE comprises a constellation of identical synthetic aperture radars (SAR) with interferometric capability. It aims to bridge a critical observation gap, by providing sub-daily, ≤1 km scale observations related to ecosystem water status, including vegetation water content and surface soil moisture over key regions of scientific, ecological, societal and economic interest. These data will provide unprecedented insight into vegetation water, carbon and health improving our ability to study, understand and model the response of ecosystems to climate change and human impact. This mission concept has been submitted in response to ESA's call for proposals for Earth Explorer 12.
