Abstract

This paper reports the first results of a comparative study of tropospheric delays retrieved by means of PSI processing of an interferometric stack of SAR images against those derived independently from a permanent GNSS network. The stack comprises 33 Cosmo-SkyMed stripmap images acquired in the summers between 2008-13 over the Matter Valley in the Swiss Alps. The long-term objective of the study is to explore whether GNSS-derived delays from existing networks (i.e., not deployed specifically for a test site) in Swiss Alpine regions can aid in tropospheric phase corrections in SAR data, or rather the phase corrections derived within the PSI processing being at a higher spatial resolution might be appropriate to build upon the GNSS products by improving their resolution.
