Insar atmospheric delay migitigation by GPS; Case study Izmit eartquake interferograms

The Propagation delay when radar signals travel from the troposphere has been one of the major limitations for the applications of high accuracy Interferometric Synthetic Aparture Radar (InSAR). In this GPS data used for defining meteorological effects on radio signals. 1999 Izmit earthquake is chosen for the case study of tropospheric effects on InSAR images according to previous studies. Due to process of GPS data with BERNESE tropospheric delay model gained and compared with ROI-PAC processed interferograms and it can easy figured out that the delay amounts are really reliable. As a result of this study, importance of atmospheric change in Turkey climate will be pointed out using SAR and GPS data integration with meteorological aspects.
