Recent and future Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) missions providespatially wide and temporally continuous observations capturing relative ground motions over greatdistances which enable nationwide or continent‐wide deformation mapping. To achieve this, longwavelength errors, which increase with distance and are coupled with geophysical deformation, must becorrected. We predict the ocean tide loading (OTL) effect on Sentinel‐1 interferograms globally for allascending and descending acquisitions, and they are largest in coastal regions. Then, interferograms oversouthwest Britain are investigated, with the OTL correction having a similar noise reduction effect as whencorrecting for tropospheric delay (27% standard deviation reduction for tropospheric delay and 46% forcombined tropospheric delay and OTL). OTL corrections contribute considerably to the noise reduction ofthe InSAR time series, with the time series standard deviation reducing by 33% after correcting troposphericerrors and 52% after also applying OTL corrections.
