Modeling of Atmospheric Effects on InSAR Measurements With the Method of Stochastic Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The method of stochastic simulation is proposed to model the atmospheric effect on InSAR measurements based on sample data. Test results show that 37.44% reduction in the standard devisation of the atmospheric errors can be achieved with the method of stochastic simulation, compared to 25.69% with the method of Kriging interpolator. The relative improvement of the former over the latter amounts to 45.72%. The results suggest that the method of stochastic simulation is more advantageous over the traditional interpolators such as the Kriging method in modeling the atmospheric effects on InSAR measurements.

Measuring the 3D displacement fields provide essential information regarding the Earth crust interaction and the mantle rheology. The interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has an appropriate capability in revealing the displacements of the Earth’s crust. Although, it measures the real 3D displacements in the line of sight (LOS) direction. The 3D displacement vectors can be retrieved ...
متن کاملMitigation of Tropospheric Delay on InSAR Interseismic Displacements
One of the major challenges of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique is the existence of tropospheric effect on the results. The tropospheric effect is due to the changes of atmospheric parameters including temperature, pressure, and humidity between the master and slave images. In this research, two different methods based on spatial-temporal filters and calculation of pha...
متن کاملAtmospheric Effects on InSAR Measurements and Their Mitigation
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful technology for observing the Earth surface, especially for mapping the Earth's topography and deformations. InSAR measurements are however often significantly affected by the atmosphere as the radar signals propagate through the atmosphere whose state varies both in space and in time. Great efforts have been made in recent years to ...
