The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides critical data for understanding Earth's water cycle, including data about freshwater systems that have not been available from any previous hydrology-related missions.

Salinity data from NASA’s Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) help Dr. Frederick Bingham study ocean dynamics.

Data from NASA’s NSIDC DAAC help scientists like Dr. Fadji Z. Maina research hydrological change in High Mountain Asia.

Data from NASA’s PO.DAAC help scientists like Dr. Jida Wang monitor the state of surface water resources around the globe.

Data from NASA’s LP DAAC help Dr. David Thoma determine how climate change will impact natural resources on National Park System lands.

Who Uses NASA Earth Science Data? Kelly Gleason, to study interactions of ecosystem disturbance and mountain hydroclimatology along with the associated implications for water resource availability in a changing climate.

Who uses NASA Earth science data? Dr. John Fasullo, to track changes in Earth’s climate.

​Who uses NASA Earth science data? Dr. Christian Kummerow, to study the water budget.
