Atmospheric delay in the interferometric phase may cause the detection of terrain-surface changes to be impossible or significantly distorted. This fact remains of special importance in the case of surface changes that show limited amplitude and spatial range. Two areas were chosen to verify the validity of the proposed solution. The first area includes terrains affected by underground copper-ore mining activity (Poland), which shows high induced seismic activity. Mining tremors recorded in this area cause the terrain surface to locally subside. The authors analyzed three tremors that were recorded in 2016, 2017, and 2019. Each of the tremors exceeded a magnitude of Mw 4.0. The second area is located in the coastal region of Chile, in the Cardenal Caro province. In this case, the authors focused on a series of three earthquakes recorded on 11 March 2010. The strongest of the earthquakes was of Mw 7.0 magnitude. In the first case, calculations were based on obtained data from the Sentinel 1 satellites, and in the second case from the ALOS-1 satellite. It is demonstrated that simultaneous allowance for both the tropospheric and ionospheric corrections significantly improves the final results. The authors were also able to use the analyzed cases to demonstrate that implementation of the corrections does not have negative influence on the range and magnitude of local ground-surface deformations. At the same time, such implementation minimizes local displacement fluctuations and reduces displacement values in areas affected by deformations. The examples used in the article served to show that tropospheric correction is mainly responsible for global corrections (i.e., within the whole analyzed spatial range), while ionospheric correction reduces local fluctuations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11060621","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]],"date-time":"2019-03-15T04:12:09Z","timestamp":1552623129000},"page":"621","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Estimation of Tropospheric and Ionospheric Delay in DInSAR Calculations: Case Study of Areas Showing (Natural and Induced) Seismic Activity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4044-295X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech","family":"Milczarek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wybrze\u017ce Wyspia\u0144skiego 27, 50-370 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5861-1280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Kope\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wybrze\u017ce Wyspia\u0144skiego 27, 50-370 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9787-4614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dariusz","family":"G\u0142\u0105bicki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wybrze\u017ce Wyspia\u0144skiego 27, 50-370 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Albano, M., Polcari, M., Bignami, C., Moro, M., Saroli, M., and Stramondo, S.
