[PODAAC Mailing List] SWOT Near Real Time GPS OGDR Dataset Release

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 21:30:00 GMT

<p>Oct 15, 2026</p> <p dir="ltr">NASA’s Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (<a href="https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/centers/po-daac">PO.DAAC</a>) is publicly releasing a value-added SWOT Level 2 Near Real Time GPS Nadir Altimeter Operational Geophysical Data Record (NRT GPS OGDR). The dataset produced by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, provides sea surface height, significant wave height and wind speed measurements from the Poseidon-3C nadir altimeter, a Jason-class dual frequency (Ku/C) altimeter. SWOT is a joint mission between NASA and CNES that launched on December 16, 2022. It aims to measure ocean surface topography with unprecedented resolution and accuracy, as well as map inland water bodies globally.</p> <p dir="ltr">This value-added, best efforts product supplements the standard SWOT Nadir Altimeter OGDR dataset, another near real time product at NADIR from the SWOT mission. Latency for the NRT GPS OGDR dataset is slightly longer (3-5 hours vs 1-3 hours for the standard OGDR), but provides higher accuracy, similar in quality to those provided on the next-day SWOT Nadir Altimeter Interim Geophysical Data Record (IGDR). The higher accuracy is achieved by utilizing a GPS-based orbit ephemeris instead of the onboard DORIS orbit ephemeris, and accounting for radiometer beam pointing and spacecraft attitude when computing the radiometer wet troposphere correction. </p> <p dir="ltr">Other than the latency and accuracy differences, the data file structures between the standard OGDR and this dataset are otherwise identical. Both consist of discrete measurements along the nadir track with posting intervals of approximately 6-km and 300-m at 1Hz and 20Hz, respectively. The data are distributed as one file per data downlink in netCDF-4 file format. Additionally, this NRT GPS OGDR collection also has no sub-collections, unlike the standard OGDR collection.</p> <p dir="ltr">The dataset is described and discoverable via <a href="https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=swot%20nrtgps">Earthdata Search</a> and the following DOI:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">SWOT_L2_NALT_OGDR_NRTGPS_D (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5067/SWOT-NALT-OGDR-NRTGPS-D" target="_blank">10.5067/SWOT-NALT-OGDR-NRTGPS-D</a>)</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>If you have questions, please contact podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov or visit <a href="https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/viewforum.php?f=7&&DAAC=146">PO.DAAC on Earthdata Forum</a>.</p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> User Services Office<br /> NASA JPL Physical Oceanography DAAC<br /> E-mail: <a href="mailto:podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov">podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov</a><br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> To be removed from this mailing list, please send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov">podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov</a> with your request.</p>

I am excited to see the impact she will have across NASA as we return Americans to the lunar surface, build the Moon Base, get underway on nuclear power in space, and develop the capabilities that will ultimately take us on to Mars.” </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Katherine has been an extraordinary leader throughout her career, bringing technical expertise, sound judgment, and an unwavering commitment to mission success to some of NASA’s most complex engineering challenges,” said Amit Kshatriya, NASA associate administrator and chief engineer. “Her leadership has strengthened our engineering community and helped guide the agency through critical milestones and transitions. Christina brings a unique combination of engineering expertise, operational experience, and proven leadership, both on the ground and in space. I am grateful to Katherine for her exceptional service and confident Christina will continue the tradition of technical excellence that is essential to everything we do at NASA.”</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Koch most recently served as a mission specialist aboard NASA’s Artemis II mission in April, helping carry out the first crewed flight around the Moon in more than 50 years. She previously spent 328 consecutive days aboard the International Space Station, setting the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman and participating in the first all-female spacewalks.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Koch began her NASA career as an electrical engineer at the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, developing scientific instruments for space missions. Before her selection as an astronaut in 2013, her experience also included scientific field engineering in Antarctica and the Arctic. She has since held leadership positions within NASA’s Astronaut Office and at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, bringing a combination of technical expertise, operational experience, and firsthand understanding of the demands of human spaceflight to her new role.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Van Hooser joined NASA in 1991 at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, beginning a distinguished career in propulsion engineering and technical leadership. Her early work focused on liquid rocket engine turbomachinery before she became chief engineer for the space shuttle main engine, leading engineering efforts through the final 21 shuttle flights. She later served as the first chief engineer for the Space Launch System's Liquid Engines Element, helping advance the propulsion systems supporting NASA’s Artemis missions.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Marshall’s chief engineer and, since 2023, NASA’s deputy chief engineer, Van Hooser provided critical technical leadership and oversight across the agency’s programs.
