Publications

The SWOT mission continues to grow its publication base. The earlier publications focus on water cycle science and water management issues, whereas the more recent publications examine specific issues such as estimating discharge using data assimilation. Other publications provide information on the effectiveness of existing methods for estimating discharge from space and how SWOT will make significant improvements.
