dear all
i am verry comfusing between SM and IW . and are we can use the both for export snaphu
You should be able to use both StripMap (SM) and Interferometric Wide swath (IW) SLC products for insar. However, you won’t find very many SM products in the archive. It’s used only for special cases (volcanoes, disasters, etc) Have a look at the Sentinel Online https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/home to read on the differences between the products.
hi Mr lvici
can we export and import the both in Snaphu
regard
they are different image modes and therefore images can be either SM or IW at a time. But you can open them both in SNAP, but their processing for interferometric analysis is different.
