This dataset provides NASA AirSWOT Ka-band (35.75 GHz) radar interferometry data products for water surface elevation (WSE), a derived color-infrared (CIR) digital image orthomosaic, and derived lake/wetland and river channel water masks at 3.6 x 3.6 m resolution for a study area of ~3,300 km2 in the Yukon Flats Basin (YFB) in eastern interior Alaska. The data were collected during a flight over the region on June 15, 2015. These AirSWOT images were collected to validate data from the space-borne Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) instrument and to improve the understanding of surface water flow through complex Arctic-Boreal wetland systems.
