UNAVCO:http://www.unavco.org/data/imaging/sar-data/sar-data.html

Data available in the archiveERS-1/2ENVISATRADARSAT-1TerraSAR-X and ALOS-2

Data coverage is limited to North AmericaAll data are “raw” Level 0 (SLC for TSX, ALOS-2) and are organized into “collections” ESA data from North America can be requested through UNAVCO

UNAVCO: How to access dataAll data access requires submission of data use agreement(s)

WInSAR data: (Full or Adjunct I Institutional Member of WInSAR) Institution membership: https://winsar.unavco.org/apply_im.htmlAuthorized data user : https://winsar.unavco.org/apply_du.html

TerraSAR-X and ALOS-2 data: (Approved CO-PIs)Contact PI on TSX proposal: https://winsar.unavco.org/portal/proposals/Contact PI on ALOS-2 proposal: https://winsar.unavco.org/portal/jaxaproposals/

If you are an authorized WInSAR data user, you have access to the EarthScope collections

Supersites: How to access data

All data access to Virtual Archive 4 data requires an EO Single Sign On username/password

https://eo-sso-idp.eo.esa.int/idp/AuthnEngine

DLR Supersites archive requires a self registration:

https://supersites.eoc.dlr.de/

Collections at UNAVCO require users to register for an account and contact the PI on the proposal to be added at a Co-Investigator

ASF: How to access dataMuch of the SAR data in the ASF SDC archive is limited in distribution to the U.S. scientific research community and U.S. Government Agencies

AIRSAR and UAVSAR: (Anyone)Register for a user account at ASF

ERS-1/2, JERS-1, RADARSAT-1: (residents of the United States) NASA 2-page proposal: http://www.asf.alaska.edu/program/sdc/nasa_proposal_guidelines

ALOS:Now open, users just need to accept the license agreement within Vertex or URSA

SSARA APISearching for dataWeb Service Root URL: http://web-services.unavco.org/brokered/ssara/

Command Line Client and Utilities: https://github.com/bakerunavco/SSARA- Automated downloads from UNAVCO, ASF, and ESA Virtual Archive 4 (via secp)- HDF5 converter for InSAR product archive- DEM converted for ROI_PAC and ISCE

New web GUI for searching

git clone https://github.com/bakerunavco/SSARA.git

WInSAR Portal - InSAR Wiki

https://winsar.unavco.org/portal/wiki/WikiIndex/

This new wiki will replace the old roipac.org wiki

•Support pages for ROI_PAC, GMTSAR, ISCE

•Other software, possibly Doris and Sentinel Toolbox

•Advanced techniques: Time series analysis, MAI, pixel tracking

Improvements and added functionality will be implemented as funding and time allows

InSAR Product Archive

Developed under the SSARA project to provide a community-contributed InSAR archive for interferograms, time series, and other derived data products.

https://winsar.unavco.org/portal/insar

•HDF5 format is used for the data products (HDF-EOS5 in progress). Example converters for ROI_PAC and GMTSAR provided on SSARA GitHub repository

•REST interface for uploading interferograms (LOS velocities and LOS time series support in development) https://winsar.unavco.org/portal/insar/api/

•Data can be uploaded from the command line using cURL:curl -i -F data_file=@DATA_FILENAME -u USERNAME:PASSWORD https://winsar.unavco.org/portal/insar/api/interferometry/

Users only need to provide the "data_file" parameter via POST method along with their login credentials since all necessary metadata is read from the HDF5 file directly.
