Maupiti SLA study - SWOT L3 250m

Left swath

The left swath is the one located on the eastern side of the map because the satellite is heading towards South in descending passes.

sla_filtered from SWOT_L3_LR_SSH_Unsmoothed_008_444_20231230T024024_20231230T033151_v2.0.1.nc

Mean computed over 25 cycles

Out of the 28 cycles of SWOT L3 250m available to this day, 3 have been excluded from the mean computations:

Cycle 008 because it is the target of the study
Cycle 010 due to lack of sla_filtered data
Cycle 016 due to lack of sla_filtered data

Cubic interpolation has been used to regrid data on the same coordinates as the swath from cycle 008 (2023-12-30), before computing average value for each pixel.

Right swath

The right swath is the one located on the western side of the map because the satellite is heading towards South in descending passes.
