The Air Surface Water and Ocean Topography (AirSWOT) is an airborne instrument suite developed to support calibration efforts for the SWOT satellite mission. AirSWOT consists of three components: Ka-band SWOT Phenomenology Airborne Radar (KaSPAR), Digital Camera System, and Precision Inertial Motion Units (IMU). The KaSPAR — which is the main element of AirSWOT — collects across-track interferometry data to produce digital elevation models over land and water surfaces. It operates at 35.75 GHz and has a spatial resolution of 3.6 m.
