Cumulative Displacement Map

Cumulative LOS displacement map for Cangzhou (China) ending 2026-10-19
Cumulative LOS displacement (2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19, 8 NISAR L2 GUNW pairs).

What This Means

  • Ground in Cangzhou (China) subsided up to -2.4 cm LOS (-2.0 cm/100d) between 2026-06-21 and 2026-10-19, consistent with active seasonal compaction.
  • About 16,737 residents live on ground sinking faster than 2 cm per 108 days (and 434 residents across 0.96 km2 faster than 5 cm per 108 days, above the 0.77 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.
