Sentinel-1A SAR data for global urban mapping: Preliminary results
In this paper, Sentinel-1A SAR data were evaluated for urban extent extraction using the KTH-Pavia Urban Extractor. The methodology is based on texture measures and spatial statistics as well as decision level fusion. Sentinel-1A data in Stripmap mode (SM) or Interferometric Wide Swath mode (IW) were acquired in five cities around the world.

Inter-Comparability of Radiometric Performance between Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B [PDF]
The study shows that Sentinel-1B is more sensitive for low backscatter due to higher TX power and higher RX pattern gain compared to Sentinel-1A. Therefore targets covering a wide backscatter range are compared.

Characteristics of Surface Deformation in Lanzhou with Sentinel-1A TOPS [PDF]
While surface deformations and their impact on buildings have been observed in the city of Lanzhou, it is difficult to find studies of surface deformation and the influential factors in the recent decades. This study was designed to detect the spatial position of these surface deformations and to understand the mechanism behind them.
