Community Geodetic Model
Jessica Murray, David Sandwell, and Rowena LohmanJune 1, 2014
Motivation:
Spatially and temporally dense time series of ongoing deformation utilizing the complimentary features of GPS and InSAR data are expected to be central to several SCEC4 core initiatives and science targets.
The continued expansion of GPS coverage, launch of new SAR satellites, recent advances in InSAR time series analysis, and ongoing advances in noise assessment and mitigation can be leveraged in order to develop methodology for generating a combined GPS/InSAR time series product.
The Community Geodetic Model
Some target applications for the CGM:
• Quantifying slip rates and strain rates and their spatial variations in the complexly-faulted southern California region, including off-fault strain
• Assessing non-tectonic time-varying signals without aliasing
• Detecting transient deformation and tracking its space/time evolution at sufficient precision to relate it to other processes such as seismicity
• Constraining lithospheric rheology and evaluating its role in earthquake cycle deformation
• Characterizing postseismic deformation and the underlying physical processes
• Providing input to develop or refine stress and stressing rate models and/or to validate candidate stressing rate models for the Community Stress Model
Different applications require different spatial and temporal data coverage and resolution; GPS and InSAR can complement each other.

InSAR to Support CGM - News
• Sentinel-1A (ESA) was successfully April 3, 2014, SAR collecting data!– C-band , 12-day repeat; provides continuity with ERS and ENVISAT
– Mostly ScanSAR coverage of the SAF, ascending and descending
– Completely open data access – finally!!
– Sentinel-1B to be launched 2016 and will provide 6-day repeat interval
• ALOS-2 (JAXA) was successfully launched May 24, 2014, antenna deployed
– L-band, 14-day repeat
– Mostly ScanSAR coverage of the SAF, ascending and descending
– PI proposal needed for data access
– Limited quantities per PI
– Perhaps SCEC should work with DPRI for improved access for SCEC research
• NISAR (NASA) was approved for phase A funding May 7, 2014
– L and S-band, 12-day repeat, launch 2020
– Mostly ScanSAR coverage of the SAF, ascending and descending
– NASA-ISRO SAR Mission Applications Workshop, USGS, October 28-29, 2014
CGM Workshop: May 30 – 31, 2013, Menlo Park• 29 participants including experts in GPS and InSAR as well as
representatives of the CSM, Ductile Rheology, Transient Detection, and UCERF3 efforts
• Established what CGM will comprise:• Will include campaign and continuous GPS, any available InSAR data• Three basic categories: GPS-only, InSAR-only, combined product• Raw time series: GPS 3D, InSAR LOS• Derived quantities: secular rates, offsets, outliers, postseismic decay
terms, seasonal models, noise parameters, common mode filter parameters, InSAR coseismic displacement fields
• Combined product will not be interpolated to a uniform grid; will be more dense near faults (in part driven by availability of GPS sites which are used to constraint InSAR)
• Two working groups formed: GPS and InSAR
Next Steps – 2014 activities• Additional data gathering, comparisons, and method development are needed
for both the GPS and InSAR components before we can begin merging them• GPS action items:
• Gather all SGPS data and metadata• Collect more campaign data if appropriate• Compare different processed solutions; reconcile discrepancies• Merge campaign and continuous processed results (reprocess if needed)• Decide best strategy for modeling noise, postseismic, seasonal and apply
• InSAR action items: • InSAR time series analysis test exercise to establish best practices• Reach out to broader InSAR community, including international, as
appropriate• Both:
• Develop strategy and framework for combining GPS and InSAR time series to produce a joint data product including covariance information
Funded CGM-related GPS work (2014)• Additional field campaign data collection
• Floyd & Funning: GPS sites where older data in archives can be leveraged to improve spatial coverage of velocity field
• Fialko: Coyote Creek fault and San Felipe shear zone cross-fault profile• McGill: Resurvey new (2013) San Gorgonio Pass sites and part of the
San Bernardino Mtn. network• Agnew, Floyd, Herring, Shen: Compile campaign GPS data and metadata,
especially to identify previously unused data and to verify metadata; leverage CMM infrastructure
• Floyd, Hammond, Herring, Owen, Shen: Combine processed solutions for multiple GPS networks; process/reprocess if necessary to produce time series; compare results from different solutions
• Floyd, Herring, Shen, Group: Identify and implement best approach for merging GPS time series results to form the GPS component of the CGM
• Segall: Assessment of GPS time series noise and its impact on velocities

Big-picture InSAR goals (SCEC and WInSAR)
• Develop integrated GPS/InSAR deformation models (SCEC CGM) at 200 m spatial resolution and better than seasonal temporal resolution.
• Work with ESA to ensure SCEC science targets are included in Sentinel-1 acquisition plan. (Currently land surface monitoring is only 5th highest priority.)
• SCEC and DPRI should approach JAXA on ALOS-2 data sharing agreement. ALOS-2 top priority is disaster monitoring.
• Promote a NASA L-band mission to provide data later in decade.
• Continue to develop open-source software tools for automated processing of the new ScanSAR data streams.

Simons and Agram
Variety of vertical deformation sources to consider
Lanari et al., 2004
Example: Earlier work highlighted Santa Ana aquifer signal
• Jun 1992 – Sep 2010
• 105 ERS images + 60 Envisat images.
• 881 interferograms
• Acquisitions almost every month for 18 years.
• Monthly acquisitions allow study of seasonal signal in detail.
From Piyush Agram
Detailed study with more data and new methods is ongoing
InSAR illuminates deformation on short spatial scalesSeasonal Amplitude Seasonal Phase
Simons and Agram
Amplitude of signal appears “smooth” while phase has sharp boundaries
• Time lag (days) of seasonal amplitude compared to location with maximum seasonal amplitude (*)
• Spatial variation related to differences in in lateral conductivity and may be distance-dependent
Full scale Reduced color scale range
InSAR time series also reveal temporal patterns
Simons and Agram
• First “real data” InSAR time series comparison
• Quantitatively Identify agreement among InSAR time series solutions and between InSAR and GPS; will consider– “flattening” of interferograms
with/without GPS– unwrapping errors in rough terrain– tradeoffs between atmospheric signals
and real temporal variations• Dataset: 2 frames
– Desert, mountains, urban– Low strain areas + regions with known
anthropogenic signals– Dense GPS site coverage
• Targeted outputs – Gridded map of LOS secular velocities– Time series at selected GPS sites– Time series at unknown, non-GPS sites

InSAR time series test exercise
• Phase I (2013)
– Inter-group comparison limited by differences in choice of interferograms, spatial scale
– Comparison of InSAR results with velocities of individual GPS stations problematic
– Intra-group comparisons focused on effect of atmospheric models
•Phase II (2014)
– Participants will use the same set of interferograms and the same spatial scale.
– Coordination telecons in June and August; comparison of results at September 2014 workshop

CGM InSAR Activity
• Objectives – develop best high spatial resolution crustal deformation time series using InSAR eventually augmented with GPS.
• InSAR group is refining test exercise begun in 2013 to compare InSAR time series methodologies starting with the same interferograms.
• InSAR group plans to meet virtually to refine test exercise, set resolutions and deadlines.
• Participants will assemble at the 2014 SCEC annual meeting to compare results.
• All of this is preparation for accurate and frequent acquisitions to be provided by Sentinel-, ALOS-2 and eventually NI-SAR.
