Manuscript
The paper presents well-structured research with appropriate methods, results, and scientific soundness. The combined use of different-wavelength SAR, together with car-based SAR, is an important added value. However, some minor revisions are needed to be published, especially for the quality of the figures and some other minor issues that could be improved
Monte mater: EGMS, it could also be possible to also add the dataset 2019 - 2023 (or 2020-2024 if it will be published) to have a long time series for comparison
Brienz/Brinzauls: Maybe it is possible to compare the data for DIC/Lidar used in Manconi et al., 2024, as well?
It is possible to resume in a table for each satellite and orbit the mean azimuth and incidence angle.
A table or some consideration showing the max (theoretical) velocity (along LOS) that can be detected by each satellite (I suppose based on acquisition frequency and wavelength) could help visualise the different satellites' upper limits.
For the PS density calculation, it would be better to show where the area is in which PS is calculated, and to include a land use map to better understand what is classified as forest and non-forest. For the plot, use the same scale for A B and C, at least using log axis Y to evidence the different order of density from C to L band

Line 194 : as shown in Fig. 6 is 3 ?
Where possible, add the boundaries of DSGSD and landslide/, especially when interferograms cover the entire area.
In some figures (e.g., 6), the aerial photo appears to have a black pixel; is it a shadow mask? If yes, add to the legend.
Figure 4 and others: Please add scale and coordinates
Figure 8: Please use the same scale of velocity displacement
