The European Space Agency has just published, as part of the project INSARAP, an interferogram, which combines two radar images acquired on Fogo Island 3 and 27 November in Wide Swath ascending mode. This paper highlights the potential of Sentinel-1 TOPS in the field of geophysical applications. The parameters of the image must follow.
