SWOT: Earth Science Satellite Enhances Water Management for a Sustainable Future

Get ready to explore the groundbreaking Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, a joint endeavor by NASA and the French space agency CNES. This mission will be a game-changer, as it aims to provide crucial data about the planet's salt and freshwater bodies. As climate change continues to affect the global water cycle, SWOT's measurements of water heights in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and oceans will be instrumental in predicting and addressing both flooding and drought issues. Watch as experts from various fields, including the National Weather Service, Alaska Department of Transportation, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explain how SWOT data will impact their work and benefit their communities. Discover how this mission will transform flood forecasting, water resource management, infrastructure protection, national security, and coastal preservation. SWOT's launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in December 2022 is set to mark a significant milestone in Earth science and water resource management. Join us in this video journey to learn more about SWOT's vital role in planning a sustainable future for our planet. 🌊🚀 #SWOTMission #WaterManagement #ClimateChange #NASA
