SWOT Satellite Captures Tsunami Wave After Kamchatka Quake
On July 30, 2025, the NASA–CNES SWOT satellite captured the leading edge of a tsunami wave in the Pacific, triggered by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Recorded about 70 minutes after the quake, the wave measured 1.5 feet in open water but could grow to 30 feet at shore. SWOT’s advanced radar mapped the wave’s...
