Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Historically, the Kyrgyz Republic and neighboring countries have experienced numerous strong earthquakes. Our research focused on the investigation of surface deformations caused by 5 earthquake events which had occurred during 2014-2017. A Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) technique was applied for the Sentinel-1 Interferometric data acquired before and after earthquake events. The pairs of images were processed using the SNAP software to produce a coseismic interferogram, coherence and displacement maps.
