Plot of the sensitivity in frictional shear-stress at the bed, τbed, and slip-rate at the bed, vslip, with perturbation of the key observational parameters. The reference values used to normalize the variations are the average values of τbed and vslip observed at all the clusters. The magnitude of variation in each parameter are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. See supplementary text for further details.
