how ocean levels are changing, how the seasons affect things as well, so it is a wonderful satellite, a wonderful mission. once in position, swot s antennae will send pulses out towards the earth s surface and count the time reflections take to come back. it is these echoes which let swot make very precise determinations of height. it will measure all rivers 100 metres wide and all lakes larger than six hectares, or 15 acres. the data can provide crucial insights into waterways we are otherwise struggling to understand. monitoring networks even on some of the world s greatest rivers like the amazon and the congo are nowhere as near as thorough and comprehensive as they need to be, and in many cases are in decline so we are getting less indication now than we did some time ago. it will be a few months till it is fully operational but once it is up and running, scientists hope we can open a new chapter in our understanding of climate change and the water cycle on earth. tom brada, bbc ne
