change note: 2022-03-15 12:00:58.0 [sritz] update Definition (TOcean and surface water levels are measured over a 120-km (75-mi) wide swath with a ~20 km (~12 mi) gap along nadir using a Ka-band radar interferometer. KaRIn (Ka-band Radar Interferometer) has two antennas separated by a 10-meter boom. Radar pulses are transmitted by one antenna and received by both for interferometry, creating two parallel swaths of data.

change note: 2018-03-12 12:33:34.0 [sritz] update Definition (The Surface Water & Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission brings together two communities focused on a better understanding of the world's oceans and its terrestrial surface waters. U.S. and French oceanographers and hydrologists and international partners have joined forces to develop this new space mission to make the first global survey of Earth's surface water, observe the fine details of the ocean's surface topography, and measure how water bodies change over time. SWOT was one of 15 missions listed in the 2007 National Research Council Decadal Survey of Earth science as missions that NASA should implement in the coming decade.
