This work was supported by funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Grant number 80NSSC17K0028 P00003). This study was motivated by preliminary analysis by Fabien Albino, and has benefited from discussions with Ingrid Johanson, Kyle Anderson, and Don Swanson, as well as the comments of three reviewers. Yunjun Zhang is thanked for his work in the development of MintPy. We wish to thank NASA, the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory, and NOAA for making the data used herein freely available, as well as the developers of SSARA, ISCE, and MintPy for providing free open-source software. We acknowledge Hawaiʻi as an indigenous space whose original people are today identified as Native Hawaiians.

Data Availability

Satellite-derived rainfall data (TRMM and GPM satellite data) are available from the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations’s EarthData GES DISC portal (http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/TRMM/TMPA/3H/7).

Rainfall gauge data are available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information climate data portal (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GHCND/stations/GHCND:USC00511303/detail). Vertical GPS data are available from the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory (http://geodesy.unr.edu/NGLStationPages/stations/) (stations CRIM, AHUP, MKAI, KTPM). Additional datasets generated during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. Sentinel-1 Ascending- and Descending-track SAR acquisitions were obtained through UNAVCO’s Seamless SAR Archive (https://github.com/bakerunavco/SSARA). Vertical displacement (velocity) maps of Kilauea for the time periods 2014—2017 and 2018 are available at (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3459589), alongside the SRTM DEM used for plotting data.
