What geocoding options should we use?

[falkamelung]

I ran with mintpy.geocode.laloStep = auto #[-0.000555556,0.000555556 / None], auto for None, output resolution in degree. Although it covers the same area the X_STEP, Y_STEP used are different between ascending and descending.

gdalinfo hvGalapagosSenD128/mintpy/geo/geo_velocity.h5 | grep STEP
  X_STEP=0.0006199295076789344
  Y_STEP=-0.0005756299284440389

gdalinfo hvGalapagosSenA106/mintpy/geo/geo_velocity.h5 | grep STEP
  X_STEP=0.0005961869802427441
  Y_STEP=-0.00048084341369469965

I tried to run without geocoding using mintpy.geocode = no #[yes / no], auto for yes but this did not work. The way to do is using --end velocity :

smallbaselineApp.py /work2/05861/tg851601/stampede2/insarlab/infiles/famelung/TEMPLATES/hvngGalapagosSenD128.template --dir mintpy --end velocity

followed by the same save_hdfeo5.py as used for miaplpy. This is easy to implement (either when smallbaseline_wrapper.job is created or by create_save_hdfeos5.py as used for miaplpy).
