“…Research on SWOT hydrology is still in pre-study and verification stages. Most of previous studies have focused on rivers (Biancamaria et al, 2016;Durand et al, 2008Durand et al, , 2014Durand et al, , 2016Durand et al, , 2020Frasson et al, 2017;Gejadze and Malaterre, 2017;Häfliger et al, 2019;Hagemann et al, 2017;Mehran et al, 2017;Moramarco et al, 2019;Munier et al, 2015;Oubanas et al, 2018;Pavelsky et al, 2014;Yoon et al, 2012), and relatively few studies have focused on lakes (Bergeron et al, 2020;Biancamaria et al, 2010Biancamaria et al, , 2016Grippa et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2010). Lee et al (2010) took lakes in three high-latitude areas as research objects, simulated SWOT lake level heights using radar altimetry and in situ data and then combined the heights with image data to study the changes in water storage.…”
