SWOT: Earth Science Satellite Will Help Communities Plan for a Better Future | NASA | Climate Change

Explore how the NASA and CNES collaboration, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, is revolutionizing Earth science to shape a better future. 🌍🚀 SWOT measures water levels in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and oceans, aiding in flood forecasts and drought monitoring amid the challenges of climate change.

In this video, discover real-world applications of SWOT data by experts from Oregon, Alaska, the Department of Defense, and Louisiana Coastal Protection. From flood watches in Portland to safeguarding infrastructure in Alaska, SWOT's impact is far-reaching.

Get ready for SWOT's launch in December 2022 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency and UK Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) leads the U.S. segment of this game-changing mission.
