Superb observation by the SWOT altimetry satellite of the July 30 #tsunami. Data acquired ~1h after the M8.8 Kamchatka earthquake show the waves propagating across the Pacific with a great agreement with @rocangel.bsky.social's model!

CFOSAT is dedicated to the measurement of directional spectra of ocean waves, but like any radar it is strongly affected by speckle noise.

Our paper on the speckle noise spectrum of the SWIM instrument aboard the CFOSAT oceanography satellite is online on IEEE TGRS!
