 AirSWOT L3 water surface elevations collected on April 1, 2021 over the Atchafalaya Basin. Each point is colored based on its elevation with respect to the NAVD88 vertical datum (GEOID12B), as shown in the colorbar.

Body
Water surface elevations at selected point locations generated from the AirSWOT data collected during the Spring and Fall 2021 Delta-X deployments over the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins in LA, USA.

Four subregions of Alaska (left) with example of lakes and ponds derived from PlanetScope imagery (right). Lake and pond extents include monthly climatological composites (May - September) and 3-year composites for 2019-2021. The inset for the Fairbanks (FB) region shows a close-up of the water extents overlain on sub-meter Esri base map imagery. The Yukon Flats (YF) inset shows variability in surface area of large lakes. The Delta Junction (DJ) inset shows seasonal changes in the area of small ponds. The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) inset shows the spatial variability of water body areas in this region and is an example of a 3-year composite.

Body
Polygon spatial files of lake and pond extents for three sub-regions of Interior Alaska's boreal forest, and one tundra region located in Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
