Coastal ocean dynamics are important for many societal applications. They have smaller spatial and temporal scales than the dynamics of the open ocean and require finer-scale monitoring. SWOT will provide global, high-resolution observations in coastal regions for observing coastal currents and storm

Flooding, whether from rivers overflowing their banks or in coastal regions, is among the most costly natural disasters. Altimetry data from the SWOT mission will make it possible to measure the 3-dimensional shape of flood waves, track floodwater levels, and improve measurements of local topographic

The sharing of river water often causes friction between neighboring states, especially when there is no common technology for verification.

Accurate knowledge of sources of available water is a key factor in decision-making for organizations involved in the distribution of water for agricultural, urban, and industrial needs. Data from SWOT will contribute at a global level by providing water supply services and distribution companies

Over land, download the raw data for ground processing and produce a water mask able to resolve 100 m (330 ft) wide rivers and 250 m × 250 m (820 ft × 820 ft) lakes and reservoirs. Associated with this mask will be water level elevations with an accuracy of

SWOT will enable more accurate weather and climate forecasting, especially seasonally. The quality of weather and climate forecasting largely depends on numerical modeling that uses the state of the ocean surface and the hydrological conditions of catchment areas in their initial and boundary

The satellite will fly two radar antennas at either end of a 10 m (33 ft) mast, allowing it to measure the elevation of the surface across a 120 km (75 mi) wide swath. The new radar system is smaller than, but similar to, the one that flew on NASA's
