NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) announced the availability of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Level 2 River Single-Pass Vector Data Product as a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) service.
Made available through NASA’s Earthdata GIS, these services allow you to access, visualize, and analyze SWOT river data through your GIS software of choice without the need to download.
The following services are available as both ArcGIS REST Feature Service and Image Service endpoints, as well as Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) endpoints.
- SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_reach_vD
- SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_reach_vD_BASIC
- SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_reach_vC_BASIC
- SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_reach_vC: (In Progress; Released at a later date)
For more information on all available services please visit the PO.DAAC Cookbook. Each SWOT L2 River Single-Pass Vector Data version has two separate services available (vC and vD). The first includes the full attribute table catalog. The ‘BASIC’ services include a subset of the ‘Basic’ SWOT attributes (see the SWOT product data description for more information) which allows for faster visualization and querying of the collection.
Also available are user guides through our PO.DAAC Cookbook GIS chapter which highlights how to access the services in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and Python. If you have feedback on these services, please provide them via this form.
