The SWOT mission, collaborative effort between NASA and CNES to help plan a better future
The SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) mission, a collaborative effort between NASA, the French space organization Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), and other agencies, was launched in December 2022 and is currently underway. This innovative Earth science mission is focused on measuring water levels in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and oceans. As climate change continues to impact water cycles, SWOT data plays a pivotal role in enhancing flood forecasts, monitoring drought conditions, and aiding communities in effective water resource management.
The mission’s implications extend to various aspects, from providing early flood warnings and enabling efficient water resource management to safeguarding critical infrastructure and bolstering national security efforts. The accompanying video offers insights into the practical applications of SWOT data by a range of experts and entities.
