NASA's SWOT Mission Maps 100,000 Underwater Mountains From Space
Original: Mapping 100,000 Underwater Mountains From Space: Inside NASA’s SWOT Ocean Mission
NASA's SWOT satellite mission is being credited with mapping roughly 100,000 previously uncharted underwater mountains, or seamounts, by measuring tiny variations in ocean surface height from orbit. The findings give scientists a far more detailed picture of the ocean floor, with implications for navigation, deep-sea research and understanding ocean currents and heat distribution.
Why now: The unprecedented scale of seafloor mapping achieved from space is a striking scientific and technological achievement.
