Overview and general recommendation
This paper provides an InSAR Kinematic Modelling based on a reliable and widely used approach(TDEFNODE). As reported by the authors, this model has been applied in the study zone but is limited to GPS/GNSS data. The relevant point is the joint inversion of GNSS and InSAR velocities. The authors present all the expected elements for a manuscript like this. After a detailed review of the manuscript, I consider the paper suitable for publication, but it will require minor corrections, as outlined in the following comments.
General comments:
The abstract, introduction, data and methodology, strain rate field, kinematic results, discussion, and conclusions are generally well written; however, minor comments are outlined in the next section as suggestions for the authors' consideration. In my view, probably, the inversion strategy is one of the most interesting contributions of this paper. However, I note a lack of revision of similar joint inversion strategies by other authors (e.g.). Wu et al. https://doi.org/10.1029/2023GL106143.
