Description

This dataset contains water level profiles generated from the AirSWOT data collected in the Atchafalaya Basin in Southern Louisiana, USA, within the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) floodplain. Part of the Pre-Delta-X Campaign, AirSWOT used near-nadir wide-swath Ka-band radar interferometry to measure water-surface elevation and uncertainty in May 2015. This Level 3 (L3) AirSWOT dataset is in the form of numerous profiles of water level along the Wax Lake Outlet.
