DescriptionThis dataset contains a simulated river data product to be provided by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. SWOT will provide a global coverage but this dataset is a subset for the North America continent. This product is derived from the measurements produced by the main SWOT instrument, the Ka-band Interferometer. They are produced for inland and coastal hydrology surfaces, as controlled by the reloadable KaRIn HR mask. This product contains two shapefiles: 1) river reaches (approximately 10 km long) identified in the prior river database (PRD); and 2) river nodes (approximately 200 m spacing) identified in prior river database (PRD). Each river reach is divided into a number of nodes. Attributes include water surface elevation, slope, width, and uncertainty estimates. As they are derived from SWOT KaRIn measurements, each granule covers an area that is approximately 128 km wide in the cross-track direction with a 20-km nadir gap. Note that this is a simulated SWOT product and not suited for any scientific exploration.

Bucket/Object Prefix: Protected buckets contain the data files for a given collection. Protected simply means users must log in to Earthdata Login before gaining access to contents within that S3 Bucket. Please use the S3Credential endpoint to gain an Earthdata login token for use in S3 Access.

Public buckets, in contrast, house metadata such as checksums, imagery, and metadata files and the like. A user can access public buckets and these types of files without logging in to Earthdata Login.

Most of the time, you'll want to access the protected bucket Information
