The detectability of the deformation pattern produced by the June 15, 1995 Aigion Earthquake with DInSAR techniques is ensured by its magnitude (MW = 6.3), shallow depth and dip-slip mechanism. In this paper, stacking procedures are applied to a series of ERS interferograms in order to filter out from the differential phase field the atmospheric signal, and an a posteriori test is used to check the statistical properties of the atmospheric signal both in time and space. Based on the DInSARderived deformation pattern, a new fault model is proposed that takes into account the crustal layering of the western part of the Gulf of Corinth.
