Evolutions and Improvements in CFOSAT SWIM Products [PDF]
2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021 The Chinese-French oceanography satellite, CFOSAT, was launched on October 2018. Two Ku-band scatterometers are on-board: SCAT for the wind observation and SWIM for the wave observation. After a first phase mainly dedicated to validation and identification of improvement possibilities, the ground processing and products generated were upgraded.
