ABSTRACT Multi-temporal InSAR (MT-InSAR) provides a powerful tool for the monitoring of ground surface. However, large-scale MT-InSAR are usually limited by atmospheric phase, which is related to height and distance in space, presenting an unavoidable challenge to monitor mountainous surfaces. Performance of atmospheric phase modelling depends on the components and variations of the extracted phase incorporated into the model, which are varied with cases and expertise.

ABSTRACT Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is commonly used to measure earthquake coseismic deformation. However, InSAR cannot be used to effectively measure all types of coseismic deformation, and it is influenced by numerous factors. Currently, for the limitations of InSAR coseismic deformation measurement, only empirical judgements are used to address these issues, and quantitive descriptions are lacking.
