Braided Rivers From SWOT: Water Surface Dynamics Over the Multi‐Channel Brahmaputra River
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite can simultaneously observe river elevation, width, and slope with high spatio‐temporal coverage and resolution (Fu et al., 2024, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023gl107652). The River Single‐Pass (RiverSP) product from SWOT provides geolocated river surface water dynamics with global coverage ...

Deriving Intertidal Topography From SWOT Data and Sentinel‐2 Data
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, initially designed to observe oceans and inland waters, proves valuable for mapping intertidal flat topography. This study presents a fusion method that integrates freely available SWOT interferometric altimetry data with Sentinel‐2 imagery.
