A Machine Learning‐Based Model Infers the Sea Surface Velocity of Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT)

Geophysical Research Letters
High‐resolution sea surface velocity (SSV) is crucial for advancing our understanding of ocean sub‐mesoscale processes, energy cascades, etc. The recently launched Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite measures sea surface height with a sub‐

Detecting Water‐Surface Superelevation in Meandering Rivers Using Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Satellite Data

Geophysical Research Letters
Accurate data on curvature‐induced water‐surface superelevation are important for understanding complex patterns of fluid motion in meandering rivers. Nevertheless, superelevation has been studied primarily in the laboratory because field measurements ...

Monitoring intertidal topography using the future SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) mission

Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment, 2021
Abstract Intertidal flats are very dynamic environments pressured by anthropogenic activities and climate change. There is an increasing need for updated intertidal topography maps for scientific and coastal management purposes. The future wide-swath altimetry mission SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) will provide valuable data for intertidal

Will the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Satellite Mission Observe Floods? [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractThe Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will measure water surface elevations and inundation extents of rivers of the world but with limited temporal sampling. By comparing flood location and duration of 4,664 past flood events recorded by the Dartmouth Flood Observatory to SWOT's orbit ephemeris, we estimate that SWOT would have ...

Assessing the potential for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission for constituent flux estimations

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The recently launched Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite will simultaneously measure river surface water widths, elevations, and slopes. These novel observations combined with assumptions for unobserved bathymetry and roughness enable the derivation of river discharge. Derived discharge data will not be available until the fall of 2023,

Canada’s Contributions to the SWOT Mission – Terrestrial Hydrology(SWOT-C TH)

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2019
The origins of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission date back to the mid-1970s with the launch of GOES-3 and SEASAT. These missions were then followed in 1992 by the Topex-Poseidon satellite, then by Jason-1 (2001), OSTM/Jason-2 (2008 ...
