SWOT Simulated Level 2 North America Continent KaRIn High Rate Water Mask Pixel Cloud Product Version 1.0

This dataset includes simulated water surface elevations that resemble the Ka-band Interferometer (KaRIn) measurements by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. SWOT will provide a global coverage but this simulated subset focuses on the North America continent. The simulated SWOT KaRIN swaths span 128 km in the cross-swath direction with a 20-km nadir gap. The primary product contains the following: 1. Geolocated elevations (latitude, longitude, and height) 2. Classification mask (water/land flags, and water fraction) 3. Surface areas (projected pixel area on the ground) 4. Relevant data needed to compute and aggregate height and area uncertainties. Additional information includes: 1. Meta data (global instrument parameters) 2. Time varying parameters (TVP), which include sensor position, velocity, altitude, and time 3. Noise power estimates 4. Quality flags 5. Interferogram measurements (power and phase) and range and azimuth indices 6. Geophysical and crossover-calibration correction values. These additional fields are provided to improve the utility of the product and to facilitate generation of downstream products. Note that this is a simulated SWOT product and not suited for any scientific exploration.
