28.07.2025 Swot observes interactions between waves, winds, and currents

Wind, currents, and wave conditions in the Gulf Stream region during SWOT pass on 2023-09-02 at 04:13 UTC.  (a) wind speed and direction from the ERA-5 reanalysis, with wind speed from SWOT overlayed. (b) current speed and direction (only for current faster than 0.7 ms−1) from the HYCOM model. Geostrophic currents computed from SWOT's SSH observations overlayed. (c & d) WW3 significant wave height snapshots from simulations performed (c) without (CTRL) and  (d) with (CURR) current forcing. Significant wave height from SWOT is overlayed on both (c) and (d). CFOSAT observations of significant wave height (thin line) and directional wave spectrum (inset) are shown on (d).

With Swot, we can now observe significant wave heightin two dimensions at kilometer-scale resolution. This new capability provides an unprecedented view of how surface waves interact with winds and currents, and vice versa.
