Applicability of SWOT data in calibrating WRF-Hydro hydrological model over the Tawa River basin

Geocarto International, 2023
Freshwater is considered an essential natural resource that must be monitored effectively. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission scheduled for launch in December 2022 will enable river discharge estimation from surface water ...

SWOT: Reviewing Challenges and Opportunities in Hydrological Applications to Inland Waters

IEEE Access
Monitoring inland waters presents various challenges, from technological limitations to environmental and management issues. The accuracy of data collection is often compromised by the difficulty of accessing remote areas and the temporal and spatial ...

Assessment of the Performance of SWOT for Observing the Static Ocean Topography

Geophysical Research Letters
Marine geodetic references, such as the mean sea surface (MSS), are currently limited by the spatial resolution of conventional satellite altimeters. We analyze the new swath‐altimetry data from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, to

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Monitoring Coastal Surface Roughness Suppression Associated with Algal Blooms and Pollutants Using NASA SWOT Observations

Remote Sensing
Marine litter accumulation in aquatic ecosystems presents a dire problem for marine life and the human ecosystem. The presence of algae on the ocean surface can alter its response to wind-driven roughening.

Integrating wide-swath altimetry data into Level-4 multi-mission maps [PDF]

Ocean Science
Real-time observation of ocean surface topography is essential for various oceanographic applications. Historically, these observations have mainly relied on satellite nadir altimetry data, which were limited to observation scales greater than ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

SWOT and Swath Altimetry: A Breakthrough for Global Ocean Prediction

Geophysical Research Letters
Since its launch in December 2022, the SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite with its KaRIn (Ka‐band interferometer) instrument has provided unprecedented, high‐resolution, two‐dimensional views of global Sea Surface Height (SSH), offering ...
