Total Zenith Delay (GPS)
The GPS network consists in 12 stations. All stations were installed between 1997 and the early 2009.
The Total Zenith Delay (TZD) was estimated by means of GAMIT software (v10.34).
The wet zenith delay for each station are modeled by a piecewise-linearfunction over the span of the observations.
The IGS precise orbits were used in solution and the cut-off angle chosen for the GPS data was 20°.
For each site the tropospheric TZD was determined at each GPS site every 15 min.

SAR Interferometry
A total amount of 25 SAR interferograms with a 35-day temporal baseline were processed using the DORIS (Delft object-oriented radar interferometric software) software.
The SAR data was acquired by ENVISAT/ASAR over Lisbon region during the period from 2003 to 2005 and from 2008 to 2009 along and ascending orbit.
Terrain deformations related to known geological phenomena in Lisbon area are negligible at this time scale of 35 days.
These interferograms give an estimate of the variation of the total atmospheric delay occurred between the acquisition DATM of the two SAR images

Conclusions
GPS measurements and WRF forecasts of atmospheric phase delay are in agreement with phase patterns in SAR interferograms with 35-day baseline.
When available, GPS data are more effective to capture local variations of atmospheric delay
In regions without GPS data, WRF information is a promising tool to mitigate atmospheric delay effectsin SAR interferograms
