This study has the potential to facilitate information flow from Earth observations to geophysical models with particular focus on seasonally relevant glacier evolution processes. This has great value for downstream users and will be a substantial improvement to our treatment of ice velocity timeseries.
Short summary
While global annual glacier velocities are openly accessible, sub-annual velocity time series are still lacking. This hinders our ability to understand flow processes and the integration of these observations in numerical models. We introduce an open source Python package called TICOI (Temporal Inversion using linear Combinations of Observations, and Interpolation) to fuse multi-temporal and multi-sensor image-pair velocities produced by different processing chains to produce standardized sub-annual velocity products.
