Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission was recommended in 2007 by the National Research Council’s Decadal Survey, “Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond”, for implementation by NASA. The SWOT mission is a partnership between two communities, the physical oceanography and the hydrology,

Building User‐Readiness for Satellite Earth Observing Missions: The Case of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission

AGU Advances, 2022
AbstractThe goal in this commentary is to share the development of the NASA Applied Science pre‐launch protocol called the Early Adopter Program (EAP) that is designed to build user‐readiness of planned satellite Earth observing missions proactively and before the launch.

Preparing for fine-scale ocean surface topography observations with the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission

2020
<p>The future international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission, planned for launch in late 2021, will make high-resolution 2D observations of sea-surface height using SAR radar interferometric techniques. SWOT will map the global and coastal oceans up to 77.6° latitude every 21 days over a swath of 120

Evaluating Water Levels From the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission in a Hyper‐Tidal Coastal and Estuarine Environment

Earth and Space Science
AbstractThe launch of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite in December 2022 started a new era of swath altimetry, introducing an unprecedented global data set of high‐resolution two‐dimensional water level imagery. During its initial calibration and validation phase (cal/val), SWOT conducted daily observations for 3 months providing ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission (SWOT) Prior Lake Database (PLD): Lake Mask and Operational Auxiliaries

Water Resources Research
AbstractLakes are among the most prevalent and predominant water repositories on the Earth's land surface. A primary objective of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission is to monitor surface water elevation, area, and storage change in lakes globally.

A comprehensive study of Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Pixel Cloud data for flood extent extraction

Remote Sensing of Environment
The Copernicus Emergency Management Services (EMS), specifically the Emergency Rapid Mapping (ERM) service, requires the rapid generation of flood maps within hours of receiving remote sensing data. This data may be derived from optical or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors, each with distinct properties, such as wavelength, resolution, and band ...

First results of the surface water ocean topography (SWOT) observations to rivers elevation profiles in the Cuvette Centrale of the Congo Basin

Frontiers in Remote Sensing
Rivers play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystems and regional climates, while also providing essential water for irrigation and drinking. With the increasing impacts of climate change and human activities, rivers are becoming more prone to extreme events (droughts and floods) and induced erosion/deposition processes, making water-related risk ...
