Release of Reprocessed TOPEX/Poseidon Data
2023-11-15It is with enormous pleasure and no small amount of relief that we announce the release of the newly reprocessed TOPEX/Poseidon Data, just 11,411 days after launch.
Read moreRapid-changing ocean circulation seen thanks to the Swot 1-day orbit
2023-11-10During the first six months of the mission, Swot was placed in a 1-day orbit that passed over the same point every day, with the added benefit of observing rapidly changing features of the oceans.
Read moreSwot's detailed view of the ocean
2023-10-18One of the Swot mission (Nasa/Cnes) goals is to detect fine scale ocean features (15-150 km), unprecedently observed by nadir-looking altimeters.
Read moreNew DAC dedicated to SWOT Calval Phase
2023-10-16The Dynamic Atmospheric Correction dedicated to the SWOT Calval phase is now available on AVISO+. During the SWOT Calval phase, to fulfill the primary DAC objective and focus on the aliased ocean signals, a specific DAC has been computed.

2023-08-07The new version 1.1 of the Wet Troposphere Correction from water vapour climate data records is now online on Aviso+, taking into account new versions of input data.
Read moreSwot orbit changed for the "science" orbit
2023-08-02Between 10 and 20 July, Cnes teams performed a series of manoeuvres to raise Swot satellite's altitude by 33 km. The satellite has been in a calibration and validation 1 day orbit for 6 months. The aim of the orbit change is to transfer it to its final "science" 21 day-orbit, at an altitude of 891 kilometers.
Read moreNew on AVISO+: Barystatic and manometric sea level changes from satellite geodesy
2023-07-12The barystatic and manometric sea level changes represent the mass component of sea level changes at global and regional scales respectively. They are estimated here using two different approaches: from satellite gravimetry and from sea level budget.

2023-06-22The Hydroweb database – https://hydroweb.theia-land.fr/ – is monitoring changes in water levels over time on large lakes, reservoirs and rivers, from altimetry measurements. Hydroweb was not originally designed to monitor the degradation of reservoirs, either naturally or as a result of destruction, such as at the Kakhovka dam on the Dniepr river. Although it did provide relevant and accurate information on the evolution of the reservoir in the days following its recent explosion. These ...
