Hydrology-relevant tutorials and resources for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission, using cloud computing or via local machine.
Search for, visualize, and download SWOT Hydrology products via interactive GUI developed by CNES and Theia, hydroweb.next
An API that repackages the river shapefile dataset (L2_HR_RiverSP) into csv or GeoJSON formats that make time-series analysis easier.
A system for generating on demand raster products from SWOT L2 raster data with custom resolutions, projections, and extents. -in development
SWOT River Database (SWORD) - the database for rivers SWOT products are based upon, great for discovering river reach IDs!. The dataset is also available at https://hydroweb.next.theia-land.fr/?pid=SWOT_PRIOR_RIVER_DATABASE
Prior Lake Database (PLD) - Add in the PLD layer into Hydroweb.next to see the lakes SWOT products are based upon, great for discovering lake IDs!
