61 Land subsidence using INSAR
Lesson 6.1: Radar: clarify 58/59 Land subsidence using INSAR Land subsidence often occurs in active mining regions. This example of brown coal open-pit mining west of the city of Cologne, Germany shows an estimate of annual subsidence rates derived from interferometric observations (inset right) using the "permanent scatterer" technique. In this case subsidence rates up to 60 mm/year are observed for extended regions. The subsidence visualized in the image is caused by the lowering of the water-table during mining operation.

Earthquakes and INSAR This image (Courtesy P. Rosen, JPL) shows the area of the Kobe earthquake imaged by the JERS-1 L-band (25 cm wavelength) radar. The time separation between the two images used to form this interferogram is 2.5 years. The areas of high decorrelation corresponds to the areas of high damage as well as high strain. The phase coherence maps can provide information on the spatial extent of the destruction. (Source: animation more illustrations animation video tutorial tryout formulae more text glossary help

65 Lesson 6.1: Radar Glossary Backscatter: The microwave signal reflected by elements of an illuminated surface in the direction of the radar antenna. Di-electric constant: Parameter that describes the electrical properties of medium. Reflectivity of a surface and penetration of microwaves into the material are determined by this parameter. Foreshortening: Spatial distortion whereby terrain slopes facing the side-looking radar are mapped as having a compressed range scale relative to its appearance if the same terrain was flat. Ground range: Range direction of the side-looking radar image as projected onto the horizontal reference plane. Incidence angle: Angle between the line of sight from the sensor to an element of an imaged scene and a vertical direction to the scene. Interferometry: Computational process that makes use of the interference of two coherent waves. In the case of imaging radar, two different paths for imaging cause phase differences from which an interferogram can be derived.

66 Lesson 6.1: Radar Glossary Layover: Extreme from of Foreshortening, i.e. relief distortion in imagery, in which the top of the reelecting object (e.g. a mountain) is closer to the radar than the lower part of the object. The image of such a feature appears to have fallen over towards the radar. Range: Line of sight between the radar and each illuminated scatterer. RAR : Acronym for Real Aperture Radar SAR: Acronym for Synthetic Aperture Radar. Slate Range: Image direction as measured along the sequence of line of sight Speckle: Interference of backscattered waves stored in the cells of a radar image. It causes the return signals to be extinguished or amplified resulting in random dark and bright pixels in the image.
