From ships and offshore infrastructure to coasts and estuaries, SWOT Adopt-A-Crossover (AdAC) campaigns took place across the globe during SWOT’s 1-day fast-sampling orbit (the Cal/Val phase, April to July 2023).

New campaigns and projects joined later, during the 21-day science orbit, with more on the way.

Use the filters below to explore them.
