Evaluating SWOT in the Coastal Zone: Comparisons with Water Level Gauge and Airborne Lidar in the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary System, UK

SWOT-UK projectThis repository contains data comparing SWOT Raster and PIXC water surface elevation measurements with airborne LiDAR surveys in the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary system, UK. OverviewThe primary focus is to evaluate SWOT Water Surface Elevation data against LiDAR survey data for coastal zone monitoring.The dataset provided here is the initial version without applying the land mask, meaning it includes grids/pixels close to the land boundary.It is important to note that results may vary slightly once these near-land pixels are excluded, as large deviations between SWOT and LiDAR measurements commonly occur in these areas.
