Radar Interferometry Data Interpretation and Error Analysis

This volume is devoted to satellite radar interferometry (InSAR), a relatively new remote sensing technique used for geodetic applications such as topographic mapping and for high-accuracy monitoring of deformation of the Earth's crust. It offers a geodetic perspective of the technique, using a functional and a stochastic model to describe the relation between the observations and parameters and to discuss issues such as accuracy, robustness, and error propagation. It explains both theory and applications and provides a resource for future studies in the field. Radar Interferometry presents a geodetic technique, complementary to GPS, laser altimetry, photogrammetry, and leveling and comments on its pros and cons for various applications. It features the technique of radar interferometry meteorology, a new application in the field of atmospheric studies. Fine-resolution mapping of the atmospheric water vapor distribution offers new insights for meteorologists. Audience: Radar Interferometry: Data Interpretation and Error Analysis is designed for researchers and professionals in geodesy, geophysics, and meteorology that can benefit from the use of remote sensing using interferometric radar.Hanssen, Ramon F. is the author of 'Radar Interferometry Data Interpretation and Error Analysis', published 2001 under ISBN 9780792369455 and ISBN 0792369459.
