Processing Interferometric ERS-1/2 Tandem Data Coast to Coast in Greenland

In our AO3 study "Radar Mapping of Greenland using the ESA ERS-1/2 satellites" we develop high-resolution ice flow estimates and elevation maps for the Greenland ice sheets and glaciers based on ERS-1/2 interferometric SAR (InSAR) data. Here we discuss interferometric processing algorithms...

Description
Summary:In our AO3 study "Radar Mapping of Greenland using the ESA ERS-1/2 satellites" we develop high-resolution ice flow estimates and elevation maps for the Greenland ice sheets and glaciers based on ERS-1/2 interferometric SAR (InSAR) data. Here we discuss interferometric processing algorithms capable of processing long strips. Our experiences with processing of the first strips are described, and the paper is concluded with a description of a preliminary coast to coast digital elevation model.
