Featured Rivers/Streams Observation Method: SWOT

NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) platform surveys Earth’s surface water and measures how water bodies, such as rivers and streams, change with time. SWOTS measures water height using its primary instrument, the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn).
