Backwater Effects From River Ice Jams Observed With SWOT Pixel Cloud Data
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract This study examines the backwater effects from ice jams in Arctic rivers using the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. Ice jams occur when chunks of ice accumulate and obstruct the river flow, causing rapid water level rises and flooding.

Assessment of the Performance of SWOT for Observing the Static Ocean Topography
Geophysical Research LettersMarine 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

Along‐Track Marine Geoid Resolution Enhancement With SWOT
Earth and Space ScienceSatellite 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.

Global Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics Unveiled by Wide-Swath Satellite Altimetry
Abstract Ocean submesoscale (1–100 km) processes and their significant impact on Earth’s climate system have been increasingly emphasized in recent decades by high-resolution numerical models and regional observations. However, the dynamics and energy associated with these processes, including submesoscale eddies and small-wavelength nonlinear ...
