SWOT Level 2 Lake Single-Pass Vector Obs Data Product, Version 2.0
The SWOT Level 2 Lake Single-Pass Vector Obs Data Product from the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides water surface elevation, area, storage change derived from the high rate (HR) data stream from the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn). SWOT launched on December 16, 2022 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California into a 1-day repeat orbit for the "calibration" or "fast-sampling" phase of the mission, which completed in early July 2023. After the calibration phase, SWOT entered a 21-day repeat orbit in August 2023 to start the "science" phase of the mission, which is expected to continue through 2025.
Water surface elevation, area, and storage change are provided in three feature datasets covering the full swath for each continent-pass: 1) an observation-oriented feature dataset of lakes identified in the prior lake database (PLD), 2) a feature dataset of lakes identified in the PLD, and 3) a feature dataset containing unassigned features (i.e., not identified in PLD nor prior river database (PRD)). These data are generally produced for inland and coastal hydrology surfaces, as controlled by the reloadable KaRIn HR mask. The dataset is distributed in ESRI Shapefile format.
This collection is a sub-collection of its parent: https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/SWOT_L2_HR_LakeSP_2.0 It contains observation-oriented feature datasets of lakes identified in the prior lake database (PLD).
