Our team of oceanographers at JPL are working on the science validation of the SWOT project. We have been leveraging the SNPP VIIRS SST imagery through SOTO Worldview to identify submesoscale oceanic features, which help us in the interpretation and validation of SWOT's sea surface height measurements, tremendously! This approach is not only efficient but also eliminates the extensive time traditionally required to download and visualize high-resolution SST. We thank you for saving our time to focus on missions and science, not on downloading and cleaning the data.

Keep up the great work!

I'm glad to hear the SOTO Worldview interface has been beneficial for your team's work on validating SWOT measurements and identifying ocean features efficiently. Having user-friendly data access platforms that allow scientists to skip cumbersome downloading and cleaning steps is so valuable for productivity. Thanks for sharing how SOTO Worldview has streamlined your workflow - feedback like this motivates us to keep improving our services for the research community. Wishing you all the best as you continue leveraging satellite data to advance ocean science and support exciting missions like SWOT!
