The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a collaborative effort to provide precise and comprehensive measurements of Earth's surface water and ocean topography.
This tool allows you to visualize and track the passings of the SWOT satellite as it orbits the Earth.
Why is this tool useful? SWOT provides high-resolution data that is essential for studying climate change, understanding water resources, and monitoring the health of our oceans. By tracking the satellite's passings, scientists and water management organizations can predict when and where fresh data will be available, making it easier to plan fieldwork, data collection, and analysis.
