Dear SWOT User Community,

As a follow-up to the original announcement, the transition to SWOT Version D products has been tentatively postponed by one week, and a new schedule is planned as follows:

Version D products will be generated for all measurements spanning the start of the calibration phase onward, and consist of:

  1. Reprocessed products for observations from the start of the calibration phase (March 30, 2023) through cycle 32 (~May 19, 2025). The reprocessing of SWOT KaRIn Version D products is scheduled to start in April 2025 and is expected to complete in early 2026.
  2. Forward-processed products for measurements from May 6, 2025 onward. 

The last Version C products will be for measurements on May 5, 2025, and will typically become available by May 10, 2025.
The first Version D products will be for measurements on May 6, 2025, and are expected to become available by May 13, 2025.
There will be a short delay in SWOT product availability from approximately May 10-13, 2025 to facilitate this transition from Version C to D products.

However, no gaps in data coverage are anticipated when data distribution resumes by May 13, 2025.

We will provide an update if there are any changes to this schedule.

As a reminder the next webinar to provide details on the major differences between Version C and D products is planned for May 19 at 15:00 UTC (08:00 PDT, 11:00 EDT, and 17:00 CET). Please find the Teams link for this webinar below.
