Differential radar interferometry uses data from synthetic-aperture radar (SAR). Three passes of SAR yield three amplitude-and-phase images, from which two interferograms (phase-difference images) made. Interferograms used to make third, "double-difference" interferogram indicating vertical motion of terrain between passes. Vertical earthquake motions as small as 1 cm detectable. Used to make extensive, accurate maps of such geophysical phenomena as heaving and buckling in fault zones, motions to tectonic plates, residual displacements from earthquakes, motions from prevolcanic swelling, motions of glaciers, tides, and thermal expansion of mountains from diurnal heating.
