Odd results from Displacement analysis

Microwave Toolbox Interferometry
1

Hi all,

I have been conducting some displacement analysis using Sentinel-1 and have been outputting bizarre / odd results, and would be very grateful if someone could advise the potential source of error.

My set-up is (apologies if this is not detailed enough):
SNAP version: 3.0
S1TBX version: 3.0.1
OS: 64-bit Windows and Centos 7 on Linux server (for SNAPHU)

I have been using the following graph process (attached):

20160518_InSAR_ESD_DEFOv2.xml (6.8 KB)

Everything runs without error, however, I get outputs which have a clean linear pattern (error) across the scene. Can anyone provide some insight as to why this is happening?

These are 24-day separated pairs with coherence between 0.8 and 0.9 and low perpendicular baselines (about 20 - 60 m)

I am confused as to:
A) Why the linear pattern from north-to-south or south-to-north? If it was in direction of the sensor I would assume look / squint angle issues.
B) What unit is the result in? I should point out I have just terrain-corrected the phase to displacement output.

Hope this makes sense, any help would be greatly appreciated!

there are atmospheric effects… you need to run SBAS or PS for accurate results.

Many thanks for your response Ben, much appreciated. Do you know if either SBAS or PS can be achieved using the Sentinel-1 Toolbox?

SNAP doesn’t do SBAS or PSI. You may want to look at StaMPS from Andy Hooper. We’re looking to have a workflow between SNAP and Stamps soon.
