Data for "Coherence-Guided InSAR Deformation Analysis in the Presence of Ongoing Land Surface Change in the Imperial Valley, California" (Q6696218)

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) observations of the surface velocity field in the Imperial Valley, California, over the period of 2015-2019, derived from the European Satellite Agencys (ESA) Sentinel-1a/b satellite imagery. This dataset includes the following: 1. Downsampled results in geographic coordinates (a grid spacing of 2). The average (secular) velocity (in mm/yr) is estimated along the satellite line-of-sight (LOS) directions from descending (D173) and ascending (A166) tracks over the spatial extent covering the Imperial Valley (S/N/W/E: 32.4/33.6/-116.2/-115). GeoTIFF files contain velocity values or color-coded RGB values using the Matplotlib colormap RdBu_r (ranging from -25 to 25 mm/yr). Masked pixels are assigned with NaN values. 2. Original high-resolution results processed in radar coordinates (~28 m in range and ~42 m in azimuth). HDF5 files contain matrices of the same size for the longitude, latitude, LOS secular velocity, and LOS residual displacements at each ground pixel from both tracks. The temporal error of displacement time series at each pixel (in mm) is represented by the root-mean-square residual of data fits to a linear trend.Masked pixels are assigned with NaN values.
