Lake Morphometry Influences the Accuracy of SWOT Estimates of Water Level
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Lake water surface elevation (WSE) data in Sweden are needed to understand water supply and ecosystem services provision. SWOT can complement WSE in situ measurements, but the influence of lake shape on its accuracy remains unclear. We explore the performance of the SWOT pixel‐cloud and this influence across 62 lakes from August 2023 to ...

Sensors, 2006 The main limitations of standard nadir-looking radar altimeters have been knownfor long. They include the lack of coverage (intertrack distance of typically 150 km for theT/P / Jason tandem), and the spatial resolution (typically 2 km for T/P and Jason),

SWOT Observations Constrain a 4D‐Var State Estimate of the California Current System
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides high‐resolution sea surface height (SSH) observations at 2‐km spacing, resolving submesoscale features typical of ageostrophic motions and associated with instabilities. Here, we demonstrate the assimilation of SWOT data into a regional configuration of the MITgcm for the ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Significant advances have been made in using terrestrial remote sensing to reduce random errors in land surface models (LSMs). However, less progress has been made in dealing with systematic LSM errors that are instead correlated with true system states.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides a groundbreaking view of sea surface height (SSH) across a 120‐km‐wide swath (20‐km nadir gap), opening new opportunities to reconstruct vertical velocities (w) $(w)$. Vertical motions play a central role in redistributing properties, influencing climate and ecosystems. Using the

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Satellite altimetry is advantageous for measuring water surface elevations (WSE) globally. However, biases of time series can be caused by uneven water surfaces, as nadir pointing measurements are often collected at different locations across a lake.

Development and Implementation of the Hyperbolic Pretracker [PDF]
, 2011 This report details the progress made on the design and implementation of a hyperbolic pretracker specifically for the Envisat RA-2 altimeter. First considerable care was taken to construct a waveform simulator whose characteristics matched those of the ...
