Wind/wave products

The wind/wave products are computed with:

  • altimeter data used to compute Significant Wave Heights (SWH) and wind velocity. Those parameters are obtained by analyzing the shape and intensity of the altimeter radar beam reflected from the sea surface (radar echo).
  • SWIM and SCAT measurements from the CFOSAT mission: added to the nadir measurement, these instruments are able to compute spectra from which are extracted several parameters.

SWOT KaRIn Level-3 Wind Wave products

SWOT KaRIn Level-3 Wind Wave products

This product takes advantage of the KaRIn Low Rate (LR) chain's ability to resolve waves larger than about 500 meters in wavelength (about 18 s) and provides detailed information on the characteristics of these wave regimes, including significant wave height (SWH), dominant wavelength, and wave propagation direction.
