SWOT Level-2 HR Pixel Cloud

The SWOT Level-2 HR Pixel Cloud dataset provides points cloud of water mask pixels (“pixel cloud”) from the High Rate data stream of the SWOT KaRIn instrument with geolocated heights, classification mask, geophysical fields, and flags at 20 meter resolution on average.

The dataset was generated by the SWOT Mission Center but may be simulated using the SWOT Hydrology Toolbox Open Source tools.

The SWOT Level-2 HR Pixel Cloud dataset is organized into swath-aligned tiles. Each of these tiles nominally contains data over 64 km x 64 km.

Please see the SWOT User Handbook, the Product Description Document and the Release Note for KaRIn science data products for additional information.
