.. _demo_masjed_dam: Masjed Soleyman dam ------------------- This tutorial focuses on measuring the post-construction settlement of the `Masjed Soleyman Dam `_, a rock-fill dam on the Karun river, opened in 2002. Previous investigations using GNSS and high-resolution TerraSAR-X data, as detailed in `Emadali et al., 2017 `_, have shown post-construction settlement of the dam. TerraSAR-X data indicates that the dam undergoes a maximum deformation rate of 13 cm/year in the radar line-of-sight. Dataset ^^^^^^^ The dataset used in this tutorial is a **Sentinel-1** stack of 100 images. The details are provided in the table below. +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Number of SLC images | 100 | +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Start date | 2015-01-05 | +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | End date | 2018-09-04 | +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Sensor | Sentinel-1 | +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Orbit direction | Descending | +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | InSAR processor | GAMMA | +------------------------+-------------------------------------+ There are two tutorials for this demo dataset: one with a comprehensive description for beginners, and one with minimal description for advanced users. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: Tutorials: demo_masjed_dam_detailed_guide.rst demo_masjed_dam_fast_track.rst Literature ^^^^^^^^^^ * Emadali L, Motagh M, Haghighi, MH (2017).
