swellSWOT

Analysis tools for looking at long swells in SWOT "unsmoothed" data. Some example illustrations can be found in these videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm1sPhvTQhOxMjglmUjAyB28bSM45C2eQ

Main contributors: Fabrice Ardhuin and Marine De Carlo

These tools have been used for the following papers: http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.32296.17925 Phase-resolved swells across ocean basins in SWOT altimetry data: revealing centimeter-scale wave heights including coastal reflection

The most simple Toolbox is "swot_swell_fig1.ipynb", it takes a sample of SWOT "unsmoothed" data and computes a wave spectrum from it. If you have co-located wave model output, it will also compare model and SWOT data.

For some of the other notebooks, you may need to download these data sets:
