Shown above are relative lake height variations computed from satellite radar altimetry data sets. These will be based on the TOPEX/Poseidon/Jason/Sentinel-6 satellite series (at 10-day resolution), the SWOT mission (21-day resolution), the Sentinel-3 series (at 27-day resolution), and the ERS/ENVISAT/SARAL series (at 35-day resolution). For all of these relative height products the datum is based on an elevation profile on one satellite overpass date and each time series will be derived from a combination of near real time and archive data. The top graph reveals variations based on a minimum level of filtering with open circle symbols used to denote potential calm water or icy conditions. The bottom graph are results from a smoothing/filtering function that aims to reduce outliers and reduce high frequency noise. This smoothed time series is a visualization aid only.
