Submitting Jobs

Once the pair network is reviewed and satisfactory, click Process to open the processor selection dialog.

Process Button Process Button

Click Process to open the processor selection dialog.

According to the source data, you may choose different processors:

Processor Selection Processor Selection

Select Hyp3_S1 for cloud processing via ASF HyP3.

Select Hyp3_S1 and confirm to submit all pairs to ASF HyP3 for cloud processing. No local SAR software required.

Test before submitting

Check Dry Run in the dialog to validate credentials without submitting real jobs. A successful dry run produces:

[Dry run] Would submit 65 pairs via Hyp3_S1 from p93_f121

Once submitted, a Processor tag appears on the job folder in the drawer.

Processor Tab Processor Tab

The Processor tag appears after jobs are successfully submitted.

Processor Selection Processor Selection

Select ISCE2_S1 for local / HPC processing via ISCE2.

Select ISCE2_S1 and configure the required parameters and submit for local, HPC or container processing

Dry run first

Enable Dry Run to preview run scripts and verify paths without executing. Recommended before the first real submission.

SLC files required

ISCE2 processes SLC .SAFE files locally. Make sure scenes are downloaded to the SLC directory before submitting.

Once submitted, a Processor tag appears on the job folder in the drawer.

Processor Selection Processor Selection

Select GMTSAR_S1 for local / HPC processing via GMTSAR.

Select GMTSAR_S1 for local / HPC processing via GMTSAR. Similiar to ISCE processor

SLC files required

GMTSAR processes SLC .SAFE files locally — make sure scenes are downloaded to the SLC directory before submitting.

Once submitted, a Processor tag appears on the job folder in the drawer.

Processor Selection Processor Selection

Select an ISCE3 processor (ISCE3_Burst or ISCE3_NISAR) for phase-linked processing via dolphin.

Select an ISCE3 processor for phase-linked processing with dolphin. Which one appears depends on the source data:

  • ISCE3_Burst — from an S1_Burst download (Sentinel-1 bursts).
  • ISCE3_NISAR — from a NISAR_GSLC download (geocoded NISAR GSLC).

Once submitted, a Processor tag appears on the job folder in the drawer.

For a full description of all parameters, see the Processor Reference.


Monitoring Jobs

A job file (hyp3_jobs.json) is saved to the job folder automatically. A drop-down at the top of the panel lists all job files, including retry files (e.g. hyp3_retry_jobs_*.json). Select a file to inspect a specific submission.

Click Refresh to poll the latest statuses from HyP3:

Status Meaning
RUNNING Job is actively processing on HyP3
SUCCEEDED Processing completed successfully
FAILED Processing failed

Job Status Job Status

The processor job panel showing HyP3 job statuses.

If any jobs show FAILED, click Retry to resubmit them. Once all show SUCCEEDED, click Download to fetch the interferograms.

Click Refresh to read the current step and command statuses from disk:

Status Meaning
RUNNING Step is actively executing
SUCCEEDED Step completed successfully
FAILED Step failed — click Retry to re-run
PENDING Step is waiting for a prior step to finish

Each step may contain multiple commands (e.g. one per SLC). Per-command status is shown when a step is expanded.

If any steps show FAILED, click Retry to re-run them. Click Cancel to stop a running local process or scancel active SLURM jobs.

Click Refresh to read stage/job statuses from disk. The stages are unzip, dem, p2p (P2P mode) or align, topo, intf, merge, unwrap (stack mode).

Status Meaning
RUNNING Stage is actively executing
SUCCEEDED Stage completed successfully
FAILED Stage failed — click Retry to re-run
PENDING Stage is waiting for a prior stage to finish

Expand a stage to see its per-job status. If any stage shows FAILED, click Retry to re-run it. Click Cancel to stop a running local process or scancel active SLURM jobs.

Click Refresh to read per-stage statuses from disk (crop, ifg, stitch, unwrap).

Status Meaning
RUNNING Stage is actively executing
SUCCEEDED Stage completed successfully
FAILED Stage failed — click Retry to re-run
PENDING Stage is waiting for a prior stage to finish

If any stage shows FAILED, click Retry to re-run it. Click Cancel to stop the run.


View Result

Once interferograms have been produced, click View Result in the Processor panel to open the data browser. This lists the processed product files and lets you overlay any of them directly on the map.

Geocoded results only

View Result overlays geocoded products: HyP3 interferograms, ISCE3 (unwrapped/, interferograms/), and GMTSAR (*_ll.grd). ISCE2 interferograms are stored in radar (range/azimuth) coordinates and have no geographic coordinate system until geocoded by MintPy — use the Analyzer panel to geocode and view those results.

Each interferogram pair is listed with its available product files:

Click any file to render it as a raster overlay on the map. Click again to hide it.
