We found a mistake in the swath detection rule in Section 2.4 [1]. Specifically, the percent deviation calculation in the definition of the signal changes D₁ and D₂ and axiom A₂ are altered. The correct version shall be: Consequently, the proposed rule for the detection of swath events consists of two axioms (A₁ and A₂) that need to be satisfied. For the signal backscatter (<em>σ°</em>) at a specific acquisition order number (<em>k</em>) of the acquired scene in the time series (<em>N</em>), the positive or negative signal changes in percent deviation for the first (<em>D₁</em>) and second (<em>D₂</em>) acquisition after a potential swath event are considered as: [...]
