2022年12月16日 · The Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a proposed NASA mission to make the first global survey of Earth's surface water. SWOT is being developed by an international group of hydrologists and oceanographers to provide a better understanding of the world’s oceans and its terrestrial surface waters.

Data from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission helped researchers to calculate the depth of water in this transient freshwater body. Some of the first data products from the Ka-Band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) on the SWOT satellite are now publicly available. "Where's Water?" Quiz.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission aims to provide valuable data and information about the world's oceans and its terrestrial surface water such as lakes, rivers, and wetlands.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a satellite altimeter jointly developed and operated by NASA and CNES, the French space agency, in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency (UKSA). [4]

2022年12月16日 · Designed to make the first-ever global survey of Earth's surface water, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography, or SWOT, satellite will collect detailed measurements of how water bodies on Earth change over time.

2024年9月3日 · U.S. and French oceanographers and hydrologists and international partners have joined forces to develop this satellite mission to make the first global survey of Earth's surface water, observe the fine details of the ocean's surface topography, and measure how water bodies change over time.

• The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission (SWOT) is a satellite mission recommended by the US National Research Council 2007 Decadal Survey (DS) that will provide a quantum improvement for oceanography and hydrology • Oceanography: First global determination of the ocean circulation, kinetic energy and dissipation at high resolution

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is NASA's first global survey of Earth's surface water. Using state-of-the-art "radar interferometry" technology to measure the elevation of water, SWOT will observe major lakes, rivers and wetlands while detecting ocean features with unprecedented resolution.

2024年4月25日 · In March 2024, the SWOT mission team released a suite of pre-validated Level 1 and Level 2 hydrology and oceanography datasets offering terrestrial water surface elevation, slope, width, area, sea surface height, significant wave …

2023年10月30日 · The Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite is sending down tantalizing views of Earth’s water, including a global composite of sea surface heights. The satellite collected the data visualized above during SWOT’s first full 21-day science orbit, which it completed between July 26 and Aug. 16.
