General objectives
The SWOT Wetlands HYdrological Monitoring (SWHYM) project has four main objectives that will contribute to better understand the SWOT measurements over wetlands and are necessary for the calibration and validation of the SWOT data. These main objectives of the project are the followings:
– Analysis of the Ka-band backscattering response of wetlands at several incidences
– Generation of surface water storage datasets
– Groundwater anomalies estimates
– Analysis of surface water storage from SWOT in large wetlands
