Distributed double differential slant delays and IWV from PSI analysis of Sentinel-1 data

The provided dataset consists of double differential slant delays and absolute zenith wet delays in the region of the Upper Rhine Graben. Basis is the SLC data from Sentinel 1A+B satellites provided by the Copernicus program. 169 scenes were processed which had been acquired between April 2015 and July 2019, including data of four specific study events (11 – 22 Apr 2016, 13 – 24 Jul 2018, 16 – 31 Oct 2018, 06 – 21 Jan 2017). Interferometric processing was performed using the software SNAP, continued by a Persistent Scatterer Interferometric SAR (PS-InSAR) processing, using the program StaMPS. The first product are double differential slant delays which represent the phase delay in radiant in the satellites line of sight between the master acquisition (17 Mar 2012) and each acquisition-date respectively. Further processing uses ERA5 zenith wet delay (ZWD) and mean temperature to infer absolute zenith wet delays. A mean value is subtracted for each scene, resulting in an absolute value correction. In addition, long wavelength components are corrected by fitting the trend over the scene for each date to a 2D polynomial approximation from the ERA5 data, as those parts cannot reliably be estimated solely from the SAR data. The final product for every scene is the integrated water vapor (IWV) in kg/m² for each acquisition date at the distributed PS-points – on average about 50 points per square kilometer.

Water Vapor Fields by Collocation of GNSS zenith total delays and InSAR relative slant delays in the Upper Rhine Graben region

The collocation method was used to compute water vapor fields for the Upper Rhine Graben (URG) region from GNSS zenith total delays (ZTDs) and InSAR double difference slant delays (ddSTDs). Furthermore, mean temperature from ERA data was used for the conversion of GNSS ZTDs into IWV. The input data are hourly GNSS tropospheric parameters from the GURN (GNSS Upper Rhine Graben network) network for 4 different seasons in the period 2016-2018, as well as ddSTDs for 168 InSAR acquisition epochs of the Sentinel 1A+B satellites. In total, our dataset includes 2D fields of integrated water vapor (IWV) and zenith total delays (ZTDs) as well as 3D 'tomographic' products in form of refractivity fields. For 4 specific seasonal periods, also hourly water vapor density fields are provided by exploiting the relations between IWV and water vapor density in the collocation scheme. The tropospheric fields are provided for the horizontal WRF grid of data assimilation subset of this joint data collection, whereas the 3D fields are computed up to 8 km height for 16 equally distributed layers.

Point-scale IWV and zenith total delay (ZTD) derived for 66 stations of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) Upper Rhine Graben network (GURN)

The ground-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technic was employed to retrieve the integrated water vapor (IWV) at 66 stations of the GNSS Upper Rhine Graben network (GURN). The GNSS IWV dataset is synchronous with the associated InSAR dataset, with 219 days available during the period March 2015 – July 2019. GNSS zenith total delay (ZTD) estimates are calculated every one hour and then converted to IWV with additional meteorological parameters from ERA5. The GNSS IWV of all the stations are saved in daily files in the second version of the Solution (Software/Technique) Independent Exchange (SINEX) format for TROpospheric parameters. GNSS station information is given in the file headers. In addition, the associated meteorological parameters from ERA5 are also provided, such as station pressure and weighted mean temperature.

Assimilation of GNSS, InSAR and tomography data in convection permitting RCM simulations of the Upper Rhinegraben region

Convection-permitting simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting Modeling System (WRF) were carried out in order to provide improved water vapor fields for the Upper Rhine Valley in the border region of ​​Germany, Switzerland and France. Hourly ERA5 reanalysis data served as input for three different simulations with (1) open loop, (2) assimilation of GNSS ZTD, InSAR ZTD and synoptic station data and (3) assimilation of tomography ZTD fields. The three-dimensional variation data assimilation (3D-VAR) configuration with hourly resolution was used. The simulations were performed for four events, one in each season (April 11-22, 2016, July 13-23, 2018, October 16-31, 2018, January 6-21, 2017). Surface pressure, temperature (2m) and integrated water vapor are provided in 2D as well as pressure, temperature and water vapor density for each of the 72 vertical levels (3D).

A comprehensive high resolution data collection for tropospheric water vapor assessment for the Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

Different observation and modeling techniques were used to derive integrated water vapor (IWV) fields for the Upper Rhine Graben in the border region of Germany, Switzerland, and France. The dataset features 1) point-scale IWV and zenith total delay (ZTD) derived for 66 stations of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) Upper Rhine Graben network (GURN), 2) area-distributed IWV and differential slant path delays from space-borne Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations, 3) IWV, ZTD, refractivity (3D), and water vapor density (3D) from tomography, obtained by collocation of GNSS and InSAR products, and 4) IWV, precipitation and water vapor density (3D) simulated with the Weather Research and Forecasting Modeling system (WRF) with free run (open-loop) and three-dimensional variational data-assimilation (3D-VAR) configuration. All data products cover 4 seasonal epochs (11 – 22 Apr 2016, 13 – 24 Jul 2018, 16 – 31 Oct 2018, 06 – 21 Jan 2017). GNSS, InSAR, and tomography data are additionally available for the period Jan 2015 – Jun 2019.

Processed Sentinel-1 InSAR data of the multi-year gradual flank destabilisation of Anak Krakatau volcano, Indonesia

The Dec 22nd 2018 flank collapse and tsunami at Anak Krakatau in Indonesia is a key event in geosciences as little is known about the lead-up processes and deformation changes prior to flank failure. We processed Sentinel-1 satellite radar data in both ascending (orbit 171) and descending (orbit 47) acquisition using multi-temporal InSAR with the Small BAseline (SB) method during the 4 years prior to the collapse. The data shows that the flank was already moving for years prior to collapse, demonstrating that developing instability in volcano can be monitored long before a collapse. The southwest flank movement rates averaged approx. 27 cm/yr, but underwent intermittent accelerations coinciding with distinct intrusion events in Jan/Feb 2017 and in Jun 2018. The data archived here supplements the material detailed in Zorn et al. (202X, https://doi.org/XXXXX).

High-resolution rate maps from the Tajik basin and the Pamir

Interferometric East and Up rate maps based on time-series analysis of ~5 years of Sentinel-1 radar data provide an unprecedented spatial (~400 m) resolution of the recend surface deformation of the Tajik fold-and-thrust-belt and the greater Pamir area. Among other the data exhibit E-W shortening in the fold-thrust-belt, slip activity of the Babadag thrust fault and the Ilyak strike-slip fault, westward Pamir escape tectonics, halokinesis and near-surface, water-driven effects. Observations and methodology are discussed at length in Metzger et al., 2021 (under Review).
