SWOT "Beta Pre-Validated" KaRIn Science Data products public release

Category: News of the Swot mission

The joint NASA/CNES SWOT project is pleased to announce the public release of SWOT "Beta Pre-Validated" KaRIn Science Data products (PIB0 version).

The primary purpose of this release of "beta pre-validated" products is to familiarize users with science data products from in-flight KaRIn data. All KaRIn data are currently being reprocessed again with the best available algorithms and calibrations to generate "Pre-Validated" science data products. These pre-validated science data products are scheduled for release in January 2024.
Please refer to the official release note for a more comprehensive description of the data coverage for each product in this release:

  1. Reprocessed global low rate (LR) ocean products spanning March 30 – July 10, 2023 from the calibration phase (1-day orbit).
  2. Forward processed global low rate (LR) ocean products spanning September 7 – November 21, 2023 onward from the science phase (21-day orbit), using consistent software and calibrations as used for the reprocessed data.
  3. Reprocessed global high rate (HR) hydrology products spanning April 8-22, 2023 from the calibration phase (1-day orbit), available through the Theia hydroweb.next hydrology portal: https://hydroweb.next.theia-land.fr
