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