Abstract
This paper describes a Persistent Scatterer Interferometry procedure for deformation monitoring. Its more original part concerns an
approach to estimate the atmospheric phase component. The procedure can be used to monitor deformation areas that are relatively
small and are surrounded by stable areas. The proposed procedure is described step by step. The procedure can be applied using SAR
data coming from different sensors. However, in this work we discuss results obtained using Sentinel-1 data. A case study is described,
where the deformation is caused by water pumping associated with construction works. In this case study, a stack of 78 Sentinel-1
images were analysed. The main part of the paper concerns the analysis of the atmospheric component. A comprehensive
characterization of this component is first described, considering the original non-filtered phases. This is followed by the
characterization of the residual filtered phases. This analysis highlights the goodness of the proposed procedure. This is further
confirmed by the analysis of two deformation time series. The procedure can work with any type of deformation phenomena, provided
that its spatial extension is sufficiently small.
