QSWOT QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Discover, download, visualize, and analyze SWOT satellite hydrology data (river reaches and lakes) from NASA PO.DAAC's Hydrocron API.
About
QSWOT lets you search for SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) river reaches and lakes by name, fetch their time-series measurements from NASA PO.DAAC's Hydrocron API, stream the results into styled QGIS layers, and run correlation / time-series analyses on the resulting attributes. . Requires QGIS 3.0+. Bundled Python packages used: numpy and matplotlib (both ship with standard QGIS installs). scipy is optional and only needed for Spearman / Kendall correlations; Pearson works without it. To install scipy into QGIS's Python on Windows, see: https://landscapearchaeology.org/2018/installing-python-packages-in-qgis-3-for-windows/ . Network access required to soto.podaac.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov, fts.podaac.earthdata.nasa.gov, and lakes.swot-lake.workers.dev. The plugin uses QgsNetworkAccessManager so QGIS proxy and SSL settings are honored automatically. . Coverage is global but only where SWOT has observed; data starts from late 2022 (SWOT operational launch). Source code and issue tracker on GitHub.
