Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) is an important remote sensing technique to retrieve the terrain digital elevation model (DEM)[1][2]. Image coregistration, InSAR interferometric phase estimation (or noise filtering) and interferometric phase unwrapping[3][4][5][6] are three key processing procedures of InSAR. It is well known that the performance of interferometric phase estimat...

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) has been recognised as a well-suited tool for topographic mapping and ground deformation monitoring applications. However, the spatially and temporally variable tropospheric delay represents a major limitation to InSAR applications. On the other hand, it has become feasible to derive tropospheric corrections from continuous GPS for InSAR due to th...

[1] We carry out long‐period surface wave centroid moment tensor (CMT) inversions using various global tomographic models and two different forward modeling techniques for 32 large earthquakes previously studied using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data. Since InSAR methods provide an alternative and independent way of locating and characterizing shallow continental earthquake...

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), widely applied for the monitoring of land subsidence, has the advantage of high accuracy and wide coverage. High-resolution SAR data offers a chance to reveal impressive details of large-scale man-made linear features (LMLFs) with Multi-temporal InSAR (MT-InSAR) analysis. Despite these advantages, research validating high-resolution MT-InSAR resu...

[1] We assessed the accuracy of earthquake source parameters inverted from simulated Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data. Using focal mechanisms of Australian earthquakes (1959 to the present), we simulated synthetic two-pass InSAR observations with realistic spatial noise derived from the characteristics of actual ERS-2 and ENVISAT InSAR data observed over Australia. The prec...

[1] In the San Luis Valley (SLV), Colorado legislation passed in 2004 requires that hydraulic head levels in the confined aquifer system stay within the range experienced in the years 1978–2000. While some measurements of hydraulic head exist, greater spatial and temporal sampling would be very valuable in understanding the behavior of the system. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR...

In the last two decades, scientists have developed a powerful technique to measure the millimeterscale of the Earth ̳s surface deformation by comparing complex synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data that were acquired a few days or a few years apart. This technique is known as interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). The paper is focused on simulation of volume deformation of coastal éros...

Accurate determination of topography is required for a wide range of civilian and governmental applications. For example, modeling flood extent, flow velocity, and sediment transport associated with river networks requires bare-surface elevations with sub-meter height accuracy and spatial resolutions better than 10 meters. Strip-map interferometric synthetic aperture radar (INSAR) sensors have ...

Advanced INSAR techniques using stable targets on the ground, such as buildings, have been successfully applied to deformation studies in city areas. However, in some cases high-quality reference measurements have not been available and the validations of the INSAR results have been based on data that probably is not adequate for this purpose. In 2005 the Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) establ...

We infer the horizontal velocity fields of the ice caps Langjökull and Hofsjökull, central Iceland, using repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). NASA’s uninhabited aerial vehicle synthetic aperture radar (UAVSAR) acquired airborne InSAR data from multiple vantage points during the early melt season in June 2012. We develop a Bayesian approach for inferring threedimensiona...
