Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the most crowded city and economic hub of Viet Nam, has been experiencing land subsidence over the past decades. This effort aims to contribute the spatial distribution of subsidence in HCMC in its horizontal and vertical components using synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) time series. To this purpose, an advanced Persistent Scatterers and Distributed Scatterers (PSDS) InSAR technique was applied to two European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel-1 datasets consisting of 96 ascending and 202 descending images, acquired from 2014 to 2020 over the HCMC area. The combination of ascending and descending satellite passes is used to decompose the light of sight velocities into horizontal east-west and vertical components. The obtained results revealed that subsidence is most pronounced in the areas along the Sai Gon River, in the northwest-southeast axis, and in the southwest of the city, with a maximum value of 80 mm/yr, which is in accordance with the findings of the literature. The amplitude of east-west horizontal velocities is relatively small and large-scale eastward movement can be observed in the west of the city at a rate of 3-5 mm/yr. File "Dinh_HCMUD_v1.tif" is the 50-m vertical velocity in mm/year. Negative velocities represent movement subsidence. File "Dinh_HCMEW_v1.tif" is the 50-m east-west horizontal velocity in mm/year. Positive velocities represent movement Eastward. For more details on the technique, the reader can be found in [1].
