The Satellite Needs Working Group (SWNG) Cycle 3 Project Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) Successfully Starts Production of Provisional Data with the Surface Water Extent Product (DSWX) Products

The Dynamic Surface Water eXtent (DSWx) products map pixel-level surface water using optical or SAR imagery. The DSWx suite is composed of complementary products, which are named according to their respective leveraged input datasets. Specifically, a separate DSWx product is generated from Sentinel-1, NISAR, SWOT, and the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 data. The products are designed to share the same structure, GeoTiff file format, and file-naming convention. The spatial resolution of the products is 30 m. These DSWx products are provided as an analysis-ready dataset. All products will be accessible through NASA’s Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC). OPERA DSWx production was successfully started on 4/15/23.
