Assessing SWOT's Hydraulic Visibility on the Rhine: Precision Flow Lines and Slope‐Based Flood Wave Propagation Signatures

Assessing SWOT's Hydraulic Visibility on the Rhine: Precision Flow Lines and Slope‐Based Flood Wave Propagation Signatures

Abstract This study confirms the high accuracy of SWOT in capturing river surface elevations, slopes and hydraulic dynamics over the Franco‐German Rhine, exceeding expectations. By leveraging in situ networks, we evaluate SWOT products from pixel cloud (PIXC) to reach‐averaged measurements, demonstr...
