  2. WInSAR objectives • • Promote the use and development of InSAR technology for scientific investigations. • • Promote free and open access to SAR data as allowed by data providers. • Acquire, archive and catalog SAR data of the U.S. active areas • (4 sec. download time) • •Mandate for sharing • Data among • Co-investigators • comes from resarch • funding agencies • (NSF and NASA) WinSAR successful when it is not needed anymore!

  3. Why join WInSAR? (Applies to US scientists only) #1) Access to data at UNAVCO facility.unavco.org/data/sar Data available: ERS-1/2 ENVISAT RADARSAT-1 TerraSAR-X Data coverage is limited to North AmericaAll data are “raw” Level 0 (SLC for TSX) ESA data not currently at UNAVCO from North America can be requested #2) Access to data at ASF WInSAR members have access to the ALOS datapool (including all the data from the Americas and some data outside) once they sign a data agreement (i.e., no need to write a UPASS proposal)
