Internal wave propagation in SWOT SLA

Seashot of the week

by dr fab
The SWOT 1-day revisit orbit enables to capture well physical phenomenon at small spatial and temporal scales. Here, the evolution of internal waves is well captured on the SWOT SSHA from the 250m L3 product. In this animatoin, time is going backward, as the main tidal period is slighlty larger than 1 day and the backward time better highlights the internal wave forward propagation.

If you are at the Altimetry Symposium in Montpellier, France (#30YPRA), come by the ESA stand to enjoy more videos.
