Extended Data Figure 6: Horizontal and vertical displacements in aero-photogrammetric DEM.
From: Spatial and temporal distribution of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet since AD 1900
a–c, Histograms of the horizontal (a) and vertical (b) co-registration displacements for each 50 km × 50 km grid cell show that the aero-photogrammetric DEM compilation is generally accurate to within 10 m horizontally and 6 m vertically with a precision greater than 4 m (1σ confidence level) (c). d–f, The horizontal (d) and vertical (e) components of the co-registration vectors between 50 km × 50 km sections of the aero-photogrammetric DEM compilation and ICESat laser altimetry are plotted with the root-mean-square error of stable terrain differences after adjusting for the three-dimensional mis-registration (f).
