Remotely monitoring volcanic activity with ground-based Doppler radar

Monitoring Volcanic Areas Using Interferometric Methods with Ground Truth

Since SAR interferometry was introduced in the 1980s, it has become a standard method for deformation monitoring, especially for detecting surface deformations with precisions of centimeters or even millimeters. In reality, this level of accuracy is hard to achieve due to several errors including atmospheric delay, orbit error, an uncertain height reference and processing errors [1]. To elimina...

Integrated Radar Interferometry for Ground Subsidence Monitoring

This paper reports the progress of the ongoing ESA CAT-1 project (ID 1078). Radar interferometry (InSAR) has been used together with GIS (Geographic Information System) technique to monitor ground subsidence due to underground mining in a test site around the Appin township, southwest of Sydney, Australia. Various digital elevation models (DEMs) are assessed using elevation profiles from ground...

Monitoring and adjusting ground-based weather radar in Europe using TRMM space-borne radar

* Corresponding author: Marco Gabella – [email protected] This research was co-funded by the European Commission as part of contract EVK2-CT-2002-00155 (VOLTAIRE). Abstract – We show how the TRMM Precipitation Radar (TPR) can be used to monitor and adjust Ground-based Radar (GR) data as a function of the distance from the radar site. The analysis is based on the average, linear radar reflectivi...
