On the applicability of an advanced DInSAR technique near Itoiz and Yesa reservoirs, Navarra, Spain.

In this paper we show the applicability of orbital Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Differential Interferometry (DInSAR) with multiple images for terrain deformation episodes monitoring. This paper is focused on the Coherent Pixels Technique (CPT). This technique has been tested with ERS SAR and ENVISAT ASAR data for the period 1992-2008 from The Itoiz and Yesa reservoirs. These ones, located in Navarra, northern Spain, are constructed gravity dams that stores the water from the Irati and the Urrobi rivers, and the Aragon river respectively. The results has been compared with theoretical results obtained using an analytical model.
