The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, launched in December 2022, marks a significant advancement in hydrological sciences. SWOT uses novel Ka-band radar interferometry to deliver, for the first time, simultaneous, high-resolution measurements of water surface elevation and inundation extent in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands globally. SWOT is fundamentally transforming our ability to understand the movement of water across continental surfaces. The hydrology and remote sensing science communities have worked for more than a decade to develop new methods and scientific understanding that will allow SWOT data to advance global hydrology. For this session, we solicit abstracts presenting recent advances using data from SWOT to unlock new frontiers in hydrology, the cryosphere, and estuaries. We also welcome presentation of improved algorithms for extracting hydrologically relevant information from SWOT data, as well as new modeling and data assimilation techniques leveraging data from SWOT combined with other satellite data.
