Utah FORGE: InSAR Data Best Pairs

Published by University of Wisconsin - Madison | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:43 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 14, 2025 at 04:09 PM
This submission provides Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data covering the Utah FORGE site via the TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellite missions operated by the German Space Agency (DLR). Data was collected between 2019/01/01 and 2023/06/30. Interferometric pairs (interferograms) were created using generic mapping tool GMT-SAR processing software. The best 112 pairs were selected based on having short orbital separations (perpendicular baseline less than 5 meters in absolute value).
