TL;DR

The SWOT satellite, jointly developed by NASA and CNES, has completed its first full science orbit and provided an incredibly detailed map of global sea levels. Using the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) instrument, SWOT collected data on ocean heights, allowing for the mapping of phenomena such as ocean currents and warming. The mission aims to advance climate change research and help communities prepare for a warming world by providing unprecedented knowledge about Earth's surface water.
