Coastal Eddy Detection in the Balearic Sea: SWOT Capabilities

Remote Sensing
Mesoscale coastal eddies are key components of ocean circulation, mediating the transport of heat, nutrients, and marine debris. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides high-resolution sea surface height data, offering a novel ...

Operational reservoir inflow forecasting with radar altimetry: The Zambezi case study [PDF]

, 2014
River basin management can greatly benefit from short-term river discharge predictions. In order to improve model produced discharge forecasts, data assimilation allows for the integration of current observations of the hydrological system to produce ...

Along‐Track Marine Geoid Resolution Enhancement With SWOT

Earth and Space Science
Satellite altimetry has been the major data source for marine geoid determination·and gravity recovery in recent decades. In general, altimetry‐derived geoid and gravity anomaly models are typically released with a 1' × 1' gridding interval.

Application of CryoSat-2 altimetry data for river analysis and modelling [PDF]

, 2017
Availability of in situ river monitoring data, especially of data shared across boundaries, is decreasing, despite growing challenges for water resource management across the entire globe.

ALART: A novel lidar system for vegetation height retrieval from space [PDF]

, 2015
We propose a multi-kHz Single-Photon Counting (SPC) space LIDAR, exploiting low energy pulses with high repetition frequency (PRF). The high PRF allows one to overcome the low signal limitations, as many return shots can be collected from nearly the ...

Automated Eddy Identification and Tracking in the Northwest Pacific Based on Conventional Altimeter and SWOT Data

Remote Sensing
Eddy identification and tracking are essential for understanding ocean dynamics. This study employed the elliptical Gaussian function (EGF) simulations and the py-eddy-tracker (PET) algorithm, validated by Surface Velocity Program (SVP) drifter data, to ...

Sea level: measuring the bounding surfaces of the ocean [PDF]

, 2014
The practical need to understand sea level along the coasts, such as for safe navigation given the spatially variable tides, has resulted in tide gauge observations having the distinction of being some of the longest instrumental ocean records.

Inversion of Sea Surface Currents From Satellite‐Derived SST‐SSH Synergies With 4DVarNets

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Satellite altimetry offers a unique approach for direct sea surface current observation, but it is limited to measuring the surface‐constrained geostrophic component.
