Video: Predicting the future of the ocean
Ergane Fouchet (Mercator Ocean International) explains how satellite data is transforming our ability to forecast the ocean of tomorrow.
Video: Where the ocean meets the continents
Md Saiful Islam (University of Rouen Normandy / CNES / M2C) explain how SWOT satellite can monitor the dynamic zone where the open ocean meets coastlines.
Publication: Telling waves and currents apart in SWOT sea level measurements
Comparing SWOT measurements with mooring observations during the 1-day repeat orbit in a region where internal gravity waves (IGWs) are particularly strong, a new study demonstrates SWOT’s ability to accurately capture the sea surface height signature of high-frequency internal waves at the centimeter level. It provides a benchmark for future studies aiming to characterize internal waves from SWOT measurements across the global ocean, while highlighting the need for improved methods to separate the contributions of ocean currents and wave-like motions where in situ data are not available.
Video: What happens when a river meets the ocean?
Lucie Caubet (PhD student at the University of Toulouse / CNES / LEGOS) explores the dynamic and complex environments where rivers encounter the ocean.

Video: How does SWOT improve flood forecasts?
Quentin Bonassies (CERFACS/CNES/CLS) explores how the SWOT satellites can help anticipate one of the most devastating climate risks: flooding.
Video: What is SWOT and what is Its Role in Climate Change ?
Francesco d’Ovidio (Researcher at LOCEAN-IPSL / CNRS) and Hind Oubanas (Researcher at INRAE G-eau) introduce the innovative SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite mission.
Final annual FaSt-SWOT meeting
Bringing together researchers from several countries to share four years of research results, the final annual FaSt-SWOT meeting reviewed the project's activities and scientific outcomes, discussed publication plans and future collaborations, and highlighted the value of international scientific cooperation in addressing major environmental challenges.
