[1] The atmospheric effects represent one of the major limits of SAR interferometry as a quantitative technique to monitor subsidences. In this work, which focuses on subsidences of small spatial extent, a procedure to reduce these effects is described. The atmospheric component of the interferometric phase is estimated adopting a filtering and prediction procedure, which exploits the phase over stable areas identified in the vicinity of the analysed subsidence area. The procedure was validated on a suitable test site located in North-eastern Spain. Furthermore, it was employed in the study of a small-scale subsidence, where the interferometric results were validated using precise geodetic observations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
