Icon
(UTC: 30 June 2025, 08:00 - 11:00)

This course builds upon the previous one held on the 28th of May 2025, providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission and its related observations. However, this session focuses on the operational use of SWOT data, illustrated through case studies from Africa. A practical demonstration will be conducted to show how to extract, manipulate, and interpret SWOT data using the Hydroweb Next platform. In addition, the differences and limitations of SWOT compared with other satellite products and data sources will be presented.
