Abstract's details
Comparisons between SWOT measurements and surface currents obtained from optical sensors
Event: 2025 SWOT Science Team Meeting
Session: Oceanography: Velocities
Presentation type: Poster
We present comparisons between surface currents derived by optical sensors (using Sentinel-2) and SWOT measurements. The sigma0 from SWOT, the SSH, the MDT, the level-3 current and higher order gradients like the vorticity are discussed on selected collocated cases.
As obtained, the sigma0 and the SSH contain information on the dynamics at kilometer scale, which should help to better reconstruct the current and its vorticity at those scales.
