SWOT swell data processing and comparison to model output

Hi there, for those interested, we are updating our swell analysis tools (I wish I could create an “optional tag” for “SWOT”.) here it is : GitHub - ardhuin/swellSWOT

This has also led me to work on garden sprinkler correction going back to the old Booij & Holthuijsen paper with the addition of a new “swell age” field to be advected (still cheaper than refining spectral resolution by a factor 3)… hopefully I’ll get that ready in WW3 by the end of the summer.

See the crazy oscillations of swell height far from the storm, in slide 16 & 17 of SARWAVE_swells_2023 - Google Slides
