Interpreting Energy and Tracer Spectra of Upper-Ocean Turbulence in the Submesoscale Range (1–200 km) (2013, background): “…in regions of weak-mesoscale eddy activity has implications for attempts to retrieve the surface ﬂow with altimeters, especially for the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission that is expected to resolve SSH ﬂuctuations down to scales of 10 km (e.g., Fu and Ferrari 2008).”
Global observations of nonlinear mesoscale eddies (2011, unknown): “SWOT will use radar interferometry to measure SSH across a swath width of 140 km with a 20 km nadir gap and is expected to have a wavelength resolution of about 10 km (Fu and Ferrari, 2008).”
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission: Observing Terrestrial Surface Water and Oceanic Submesoscale Eddies (2010, background): “A consensus has developed in the oceanographic community that processes occurring at submesoscales are crucial in understanding a wide range of oceanic processes [42].”
