Abstract. Since 2017, the TanDEM-X mission aims to acquire data globally to generate another (updated) DEM. This new set of acquisitions, which will be complete in 2020, has a clear temporal separation from those used for the TanDEM-X global DEM. It will therefore allow the creation of a temporally independent DEM, the so-called "TanDEM-X Change DEM" enabling the characterization of terrain changes. Since only one global coverage is being acquired, improvements in e.g. the interferometric data
