Swot reveals that fine-scale eddies are as efficient as larger and more energetic structures in modulating turbulence in the ocean interior[details]
04.05.2026 Mai 2026 : Swot permet de retracer la chronologie de la fusion de tourbillons dans le bassin des Lofoten
Swot a observé la fusion de deux tourbillons dans le bassin des Lofoten. Ces phénomènes fournissent des informations sur le mélange vertical et le transport de chaleur dans l'océan.

20.04.2026 Swot reveals swells that connect ocean storms and mysterious seismic activity
A study published in the journal Nature Communications identifies a causal relationship between the occurrence of large storms in the Southern Ocean and, a few days later, bursts of microseisms with periods around 16 and 26 s,...

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])](/fileadmin/_processed_/c/5/csm_Fig_7_from_Goret_al_2026-copy_344f91a693.png "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...[details]
