That is a very cool finding. Though I must say that visualizing the data with a jet colormap and no legend is a little disrespectful to anyone who is sober.

- nemetroid 7y agoThis was my initial reaction as well, but the article mentions that > Each color cycle represents 4.8 inches (12 centimeters) of ground displacement either toward or away from the satellite. ...so what we're actually interested in is counting the number of cycles through the color map between two points, for which jet actually seems like a perfectly good choice. jofer explains in their comment why the data is shown this way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20398703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20398703
- enriquto 7y ago> a jet colormap and no legend this is very standard for interferometry (that represents a height difference modulo some step). There is no useful "legend" that you can associate to this colormap. The only information missing is the step between cycles of the colormap, which is given.
