SWOT Level 2 River Single-Pass Vector Data Product, Version 2.0

Listed in NASA Data Portal

The SWOT Level 2 River Single-Pass Vector Data Product from the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides water surface elevation, slope, width, and discharge derived from the high rate (HR) data stream from the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn).

Description

SWOT launched on December 16, 2022 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California into a 1-day repeat orbit for the "calibration" or "fast-sampling" phase of the mission, which completed in early July 2023.

After the calibration phase, SWOT entered a 21-day repeat orbit in August 2023 to start the "science" phase of the mission, which is expected to continue through 2025. Water surface elevation, slope, width, and discharge are provided for river reaches (approximately 10 km long) and nodes (approximately 200 m spacing) identified in the prior river database, and distributed as feature datasets covering the full swath for each continent-pass.

These data are generally produced for inland and coastal hydrology surfaces, as controlled by the reloadable KaRIn HR mask. The dataset is distributed in ESRI Shapefile format. This dataset is the parent collection to the following sub-collections: podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_node_2.0 podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_reach_2.0
