Many scientists are interested in using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data to monitor the motion of Earth’s surface, but the analyses required can be complex, and the data are often challenging to work with. To simplify these analyses, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) team has created an OPERA Surface Displacement (OPERA-DISP) dataset. This dataset provides InSAR-derived surface displacement measurements across most of North America and is now available via NASA’s Alaska Satellite Facility Distributed Active Archive Center (ASF DAAC).

To support data users working with this product, ASF DAAC has also launched the ASF Displacement Portal — an open-source web interface that offers intuitive spatial browsing and direct exploration of the OPERA-DISP dataset. Join us to learn more about the OPERA-DISP product and the portal that enables its exploration.

The OPERA-DISP solution is a deliverable of the Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), an interagency effort of the U.S. Government dedicated to identifying and addressing Earth observation needs across U.S. civilian federal agencies.
