Water Information from SPace (WISP)

Tracking Surface Water from Space​

WISP is an interactive dashboard with real-time satellite hydrology data and streamflow and water level data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). WISP is designed to familiarize users with different satellite data products and contextualize these data alongside ground measurements. WISP displays data from the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. SWOT timeseries data have been downloaded using the Hydrocron API developed by NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC).

Most recent changes include:

  • Updating river and lake names
  • Displaying Version C SWOT data for river reaches
