Ocean Waves in the South Pacific: Complementarity of SWIM and SAR Observations
Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract This study focuses on ocean waves impacting the Moorea Island in French Polynesia, where coral reefs play an essential role in the biodiversity and protection of habitations. We investigate how the innovative Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring (SWIM) instrument of the Chinese‐French Oceanography SATellite satellite enables to document ...

SAR Altimetry Data as a New Source for Swell Monitoring
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 7, 16 April 2022., 2022 Abstract This article shows the first spectral analysis of fully‐focused Synthetic Aperture Radar (FFSAR) altimetry data with the objective of studying backscatter modulations caused by swells. Swell waves distort the backscatter in altimetry radargrams by means of velocity and range bunching.

In-Situ Validation of Altimetry and CFOSAT SWIM Measurements in a High Wave Environment
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2023 While satellite altimeters have revolutionized ocean science, validation measurements in high wave environments are rare. Using geodetic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data collected from the Southern Ocean Flux Station (SOFS, −47°S, 142°E ...

CAL/VAL Phase for the Swim Instrument Onboard cFOSAT [PDF]
IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020 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. This paper presents the most recent results on the SWIM data quality analysis a few months after the end of the CAL/VAL phase.
