Gamma_demo_PALSAR1_deskew_cat.tar.gz Some PALSAR1 SLC data (level 1.1) are in a Doppler centroid (skewed or non-deskewed) geometry, and each scene is processed using a different Doppler centroid. While it is possible to process individual scenes in that geometry (also interferometrically), concatenation of multiple consecutive scenes can only be achieved using a common geometry. Here we read 3 consecutive PALSAR1 SLC data for 2 different dates, deskew the data, i.e. convert them to a zero-Doppler geometry, concatenate them in a common geometry, co-register the scenes, and generate an interferogram and a coherence map.

PALSAR-2 provides SLC data in modes with different spatial resolution. Cross-mode interferometry is demonstrated for an SM2 – SM1 pair (having different bandwidths and a different center frequency) and an SM1 – SPT pair (having different azimuth bandwidths. Bandpass filtering is done using either bpf or SLC_adf, to shift the effective radar carrier frequency the program SLC_freq_shift is used.

Gamma_demo_PALSAR2_ScanSAR_NZ.tar.gz
Demo example on the generation of a large-area differential interferogram using PALSAR-2 ScanSAR SLC (processed using the full-aperture processor, provided in CEOS format). Two mosaicking methods are used: in slant-range geometry and in map geometry. In addition, for both cases, the co-registration can be done with and without refinement using an offset field. This leads to four versions for that example. Only data of 2 sub-swaths are included in the zip files provided. Nevertheless, the total size of the demo files is 25 GB. README 1

PALSAR3_iono_demo.tar.gz
This demo uses simulated PALSAR3 data with SLCs for two separate spectral bands, the main 28MHz bandwidth band and an additional 10MHz band available for the ionosphere mitigation.
For the demo an interferometric pair over Osaka, Japan is used. One of the two acquisitions of the pair is affected by significant ionospheric effects. Methods to identify the presence of ionospheric effects for the individual SLC and the interferometric pair are shown. To generate a useful differential interferogram with this pair the second image (which is affected by ionospheric effects) is co-registered to the first (reference) scene using a refinement step with an offset field. Then the dispersive and non-dispersive phase components are determined using the split-spectrum method described in Wegmüller, U.; Werner, C.; Frey, O.; Magnard, C. Estimation and Compensation of the Ionospheric Path Delay Phase in PALSAR-3 and NISAR-L Interferograms. Atmosphere 2024, 15, 632. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos15060632.
