13.05.2026 Swot reveals fine-scale eddies efficiency in modulating ocean interior turbulence

Swot captures small structures previously elusive to nadir altimetry. (a) Swot vorticity derived from the SSH using the geostrophic assumption between 20 and 24 August 2023. (b) Gridded nadir altimetry geostrophic vorticity on 22 August 2023. Note the different color scales. from [Rolland et al. 2026].

08.04.2026 Interaction of internal solitary waves and eddies observed for the first time with Swot

ADT_swot with internal solitary waves detection for 22 August 2024 with an Anticyclonic eddy interaction ("AE", eddy marked by green contour) (from [Goret et al. , 2026])

For the first time, Swot enabled to observe Internal solitary waves signature in sea surface height. This allowed researchers to study the interactions of internal solitary waves with eddies on the Amazon Shelf, leading to a...[more]
