“…The systematic error associated with the co-registration was kept to <1 pixel, so with a pixel size, P s , of 15 m and time separation, �t, of 1 year, the systematic error for the velocity, � �syst , becomes P s =�t or �15 m a À 1 (Berthier and others, 2003). The random error associated with the feature-tracking algorithm is <1 pixel, with accuracy ranging from 1/8 to 1/4 pixel ( Argyriou and Vlachos, 2007). Taking a conservative estimate of the random error to be �0.5 pixels, which corresponds to a �8 m a À 1 error, the total error associated with the procedure used is � ¼ ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ffiffi…”
