StripmapApp ISCE2: Water mask

Hi there guys,
I hope you’re doing well.

I am stuck on a step in StripmapApp and so I was wondering if I could get an advice from you guys.

I am using ALOS PALSAR pair of scenes for performing interferometry and part of the scene is located offshore. I was wondering if there is a way applying land mask in StripmapApp (using ISCE2). I believe it will help unwrap better and faster and possibly improve further analysis (ionospheric correction etc).

I will appreciate any guidance on that.

What i tried so far is…
I tried waterMask.py but the link to mask downloading is seemingly dead…

I then tried wbd.py and I got to download a .wbd landmask for my area.

Next, I used WbdSticther.py to stitch watermask and dem (possibly) however the links it use fail as well.

I am wondering if it’s possible to specify a flag in input StripmapApp.xml so that it can use available watermask during analysis and avoid analyzing pixels with zero and less than zero elevation values.

Any suggestion…
Thanks a bunch…

May be this forum is not the right place for ISCE questons?

Thank you. I also tried posting on the ISCE2 GitHub issues page, but unfortunately, the responsiveness from the ISCE team has been none so far.

I’m not sure here many colleagues are using ISCE.
Good luck.
