How is this measured?
The methodologies that can answer this, ranked by fit. Open data and cadence reflect the best demonstrated implementer for each method.
| Methodology | Fit ? | Open data | Cadence | In service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InSAR - surface deformation | first-choice | - | - | 1 |
| Tropospheric column mapping (NO2/SO2) | first-choice | - | - | 0 |
| Spaceborne LiDAR - altimetry and canopy structure | suitable | - | - | 1 |
| Thermal anomaly detection | suitable | - | - | 1 |
