Oceanographers use satellites to peer down at Earth and measure the elevation of the ocean’s surface. This information can help them map the circulation of the ocean’s currents and understand the role this movement plays in heat transport and climate change. Launched in late 2022, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite can take snapshots of sea surface heights at a finer scale than ever before possible—tens of kilometers instead of hundreds.
