Surface Water Ocean Topography Satellite - Pasadena, CA - Exact Replicas on Waymarking.com

Taken from Wikipedia, "The Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission is a future satellite mission, jointly developed by NASA and CNES, the French space agency, in partnership with Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency (UKSA)[2]. The objectives of the mission are to make the first global survey of the Earth's surface water and to observe the fine details of the ocean's surface topography, and to measure how terrestrial surface water bodies change over time. While past satellite missions like the Jason series altimeters (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3) have provided variation in river and lake water surface elevations at select locations, SWOT will provide the first truly global observations of changing water levels in rivers, lakes and floodplains. In the world’s oceans, SWOT will also observe ocean circulation at unprecedented scales of 15-25 km, approximately an order of magnitude finer than current satellites, over the global oceans. Because it uses wide-swath altimetry technology, SWOT will almost completely observe the world's oceans and freshwater bodies with repeated high-resolution elevation measurements, allowing observations of variations."
