What's Happening?
The Alaska Satellite Facility Distributed Active Archive Center (ASF DAAC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has launched ARIA Sentinel-1 Geocoded
Unwrapped Interferogram (GUNW) On Demand processing in the Vertex data portal. This new capability allows users to generate high-quality interferograms for areas and time pairings not currently available in the archive, supporting applications such as earthquake and volcano monitoring. The products are geocoded and include metadata and correction layers for atmospheric and noise effects.
Why It's Important?
The launch of ARIA-S1-GUNW On Demand products enhances the ability to monitor and analyze geophysical phenomena, providing valuable data for disaster response and scientific research. By expanding access to these products, NASA supports the scientific community in understanding Earth's changing surface and improving hazard preparedness. The integration of these products into the Vertex platform reflects NASA's commitment to open data services and user-driven research.
What's Next?
The expansion of ARIA-S1-GUNW products in the archive will continue, offering researchers and disaster response teams more comprehensive data for analysis. The ongoing development of geospatial data products may lead to advancements in monitoring techniques and improved predictive models for natural disasters. Collaboration between NASA and other scientific institutions could further enhance the capabilities and applications of these products.
