This video shows swell from storm Rosemary resolved in SWOT SSH (in blue) and radar backscatter (grey shades) data, as the satellite flies along track 008 over the Indian Ocean, north of Australia. Note the internal waves with L=2 km wavelength at the start of the videos, and the effect of shallow water, making the swell wavelength shrink.

Lecture given by Jean Bidlot on April 22, 2024 in Cargese, France. Jean covered the outcome of the ECMWF air-sea interaction meeting, and latest developments at ECMWF.

This video shows swell resolved in SWOT SSH (in blue) and radar backscatter (grey shades) data, as the satellite flies along track 004 over the Pacific Ocean as part of cycle 548. The video captures the New Caledonia coral reef and lagoon system and passes very close to Norfolk island that is a strong source of wave scattering and finishes in shallow water next to the coast of NZ.

This video shows swell resolved in SWOT SSH (in blue) and radar backscatter (grey shades) data, as the satellite flies along track 017 over the Pacific ocean, west and North of Aotearoa New Zealand, on June 11, 2023, as part of cycle 548. The video captures waves reflected from land and/or scattered from shallow water areas. Note the ring-shaped waves from the East around y = 2500 km and from t...

This video shows swell resolved in SWOT SSH (in blue) and radar backscatter (grey shades) data, as the satellite flies along track 017 over the Pacific ocean, west of Aotearoa New Zealand, on June 10, 2023, as part of cycle 547. The video captures forerunners, the small amplitude swells ahead of the main swell that will arrive later.

This video shows swell resolved in SWOT SSH (in blue) and radar backscatter (grey shades) data, as the satellite flies along track 019 from Antarctica to Australia, on June 10, 2023, as part of cycle 547. The video starts at the edge of the sea ice and goes to the open ocean. Many "small" icebergs are visible as "pimples" in the backscatter data, e.g. around y = 280 km. There is a bigger iceber...

This video shows swell resolved in SWOT SSH (in blue) and radar backscatter (grey shades) as it flies along track 019 from Antarctica to Australia, on June 9, 2023. Note the dark patches in radar backscatter (grey shades) are associated to rain cells. Swells are generally longer further away from the storm because long waves travel faster. At the end of the video, swells get much shorter after ...

This lecture was given by Fabrice Ardhuin as an introduction to the 2024 WISE Meeting and summer school in Cargese. More details at: Leckler et al. (JPO 2015): doi.org/10.1175/JPO-D-14-0237.1

This lecture was given by Nicolas Mordant at the 2024 WISE Meeting and summer school in Cargese.

This lecture was presented by Alejandro Bohe at the 2024 WISE Meeting and summer school in Cargese. It describe the measurement principle of the SWOT satellite and latest updates to the algorithm for deriving wave height from interferometric coherence (warning: the SWOT "B version" of the data has important biases.)
