Observing interactions between waves, winds, and currents from SWOT
Published in Geophysical Research Letter, 2025
Overview
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission enables provide colocalized two-dimensional geostrophic current, wind speed, and significant wave height at 2-km posting. Thanks to these observation of the air-sea interface SWOT provides a unprecedented description of the interactions and the exchanges that occur in the transitions zone between the atmosphere and the ocean.
