SWOT Level 2 Water Mask Raster Image Data Product, Version C

Description

The SWOT Level 2 Water Mask Raster Image Data Product from the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides global surface water elevation and inundation extent derived from high rate (HR) measurements from the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) on SWOT. 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, area, water fraction, backscatter, geophysical information are provided in geographically fixed scenes at resolutions of 100 m and 250 m in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection. Available in netCDF-4 file format. On-demand processing available to users for different resolutions, sampling grids, scene sizes, and file formats.
Please note that this collection contains SWOT Version C science data products.
