Public release of the SWOT Level-3 (L3) product
We are pleased to announce the public release of the SWOT Level-3 (L3) product (upgraded and reprocessed into a version 0.3) for the 1-day phase (March 29 - July 10, 2023) and the 21-day phase (September 7 - November 21, 2023) of the mission based on the Level-2 “Beta Pre-validated” KaRIn Low Rate (Ocean) product.
To illustrate, the image below is a nice example of the developing El Niño as seen by SWOT: no interpolation, no cosmetics here, this is just the raw Level-3 from SWOT binned on a map.
More details about the Level-3 product can be found on the AVISO website (product page here) and/or in a presentation from the SWOT Science Team Meeting of September 2023 (link). You can also read the FAQ document from AVISO (link).
