Aug. 2026: Classifying sea ice leads and floes in Swot data
A classification of sea ice based on Swot data distinguishes between leads and floes for each 250-metre pixel

Jul. 2026: El Niño 2026: altimetry reveals similarities with the extreme event of 1997
An El Niño event has been developing in the Tropical Pacific for several months now. Forecasting extreme events is particularly difficult, but altimetry can help.

Jun. 2026: FSLEs help in modelling marine floating debris accumulation
Altimetry-computed Finite size Lyapunov Exponents can be used with other data to predict areas where marine floating debris accumulate
-
May 2026: Swot captured the vortex merger chronology in the Lofoten Basin
Swot observed an eddy-merging event in the Lofoten Basin. Such phenomena provide insights into ocean vertical mixing and heat transport.
-
Apr. 2026: Sediment moves in the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, measured by Swot
Swot enables the measurement of changes in both the height and surface area of sediments in intertidal zones. This allows for the estimation of volume changes in these areas.
-
Mar. 2026: Microplastics distribution in the ocean influenced by eddies
Mesoscale eddies seem to act as dynamic reservoirs and transporters of microplastics in the ocean
-
Feb. 2026: Swot helps in assessing the tides in estuaries and rivers
Swot thus enables to link tides from the open ocean into rivers
-
Jan. 2026: La Niña comes and goes
Altimetry enables large-scale monitoring of the ENSO phenomenon - both El Niño and La Niña phases
