Under revision (literature_mismatch, noisy_series): Automated time-series QC flagged this headline series for independent review — Headline -7.5 cm LOS in 108 days implies roughly 10x the published recent rates (about 0.9 cm/yr on average, locally above 2 cm/yr, Sentinel-1 PS-InSAR 2016-2019; 1-3 cm/yr in 2005-2010 InSAR); the headline series has +/-4-5 cm steps in both directions, typical of tropical decorrelation..

Latest Pair & Cumulative Summary

  • Latest Consecutive Pair Step: +2.88 cm LOS (2026-10-07 to 2026-10-19 at p01: 13.814N 100.737E; cumulative at point: -7.48 cm)

Cumulative LOS displacement (2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19, 8 NISAR L2 GUNW pairs).

What This Means

  • Peak measured ground motion in Bangkok (Thailand) reached -7.5 cm LOS (-6.2 cm/100d) from 2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19, but low coverage or wide reference spread makes this an indicative estimate.
  • About 1,119,303 residents live on ground sinking faster than 2 cm per 108 days (and 261,087 residents across 48.85 km2 faster than 5 cm per 108 days, above the 0.65 cm 2-sigma noise floor).
  • No local GNSS or canal-tilt overlay is bundled for this subset; field inspection and local piezometer records are needed to confirm infrastructure impacts.
Calibration & Quality Notice (PROVISIONAL): NISAR data are provisional. Calibration and validation are carried out by the NISAR project (NASA-JPL and ISRO), not by our team.
