SWOT Simulated Level 2 North America Continent High Rate Raster Product Version 1.0

This dataset contains a simulated rasterized water surface elevation and inundation-extent product to be provided 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. This is a derived product through resampling the upstream dataset L2_HR_PIXC_V1 and L2_HR_PIXCVEC_V1 onto a uniform grid over the North America continent. A uniform grid is superimposed onto the pixel cloud from the source products, and all pixel-cloud samples within each grid cell are aggregated to produce a single value per raster cell. The raster data are produced geographically fixed tiles at resolutions of 100 m and 250 m in a Universal Transverse Mercator projection grid. Note that this is a simulated SWOT product and not suited for any scientific exploration.
