Advances in oceanography, marine geophysics, and cryosphere science from the SWOT satellite mission

Session ID#: 280382

Session Description:
Launched in December 2022 the SWOT mission has produced observations of the elevation of sea surface and sea ice with spatial resolution close to 1 km, providing the first two-dimensional data of ocean topography and sea ice elevations. The interferometry radar system of SWOT has also made high-resolution observations of the significant wave height and wind speed.  This session invites presentations of research based on SWOT and other related observations of the ocean, including but not limited to the following:  submesoscale eddies, fronts; internal waves and tides; coastal processes; air-sea interactions, involving ocean currents, wind, and waves; ocean bathymetry and associated marine geophysical processes; sea-ice and other cryosphere processes.  We also anticipate presentations in novel analysis techniques and integrative approaches that combine SWOT with other datasets.
