Scientific figuring with three panels. Left panel shows a map of the Everglades in Florida overlaid with data from the SWOT mission. It shows very detailed water level data throughout the everglades. The second panel, in the upper right, is a scatterplot showing in situ gauge water level against SWOT water level. It shows a mean absolute error of 6.7 cm, a correlation coefficient of 0.996, and a mean bias of 6.8 cm. The third figure, a scatterplot in the lower right, shows that by averaging 30 or more SWOT pixels, high accuracy is possible.
Are water levels in wetlands important to you? @kica22.bsky.social's new paper in GRL shows that the SWOT satellite can measure water surface elevations in the Everglades with a mean absolute error of 6.7 cm. Check it out! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
