There seems to be a data gap in SWOT HR Raster and Pixel Cloud data in cycle 030, pass 181 in March 23rd, 2025 over Fairbanks, AK on Earthdata Search. The scene jumps from 133 to 136. Does anyone know what might have happened?

Thank you!

Hi smu_yoons,

Thanks for reaching out.

I'm not aware of any explanations for the gap that you identified in c030, p181; and I haven't looked backwards to confirm that SLC products exist for the corresponding acquisition period. Data gaps aren't uncommon in the forward stream HR production system. If usable data were acquired then the gaps will be filled during the 2nd bulk reprocessing (Version D), which is ongoing now.

You can refer to this web page for the list of known gaps/anomalies/failed acquisitions:

Let me know if you have other questions, thanks
Jack

Thank you Jack. I don't see a SLC product for this cycle so I will assume that data was not collected. Thank you!
