Surface velocity of Hansbreen

The annual velocity of Hansbreen in the period 2007–2015 is determined at stake No. 4 located approximately 3.5 km upstream of the glacier terminus (15°28E, 77°02N). Monitoring of the glacier is conducted by Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Science. The stake position was measured by the differential GPS receiver at the turn of each year (December/January) (with a horizontal accuracy of ±4 cm). Velocity along the Hansbreen terminus in 2009 and 2015 is processed from repeated terrestrial laser scanning in August 2009 and August 2015. Values of displacements of the same features along the calving front (distinctive edges of crevasses) for approximately two weeks were provided with an accuracy of around 10 cm.
