“…Although field-based measurements can provide very U. Nanni et al: Climatic control on seasonal variations in mountain glacier surface velocity accurate data about glacier processes (e.g., Stevens et al, 2022;Nanni et al, 2022;Vincent et al, 2022), they require human presence and are generally limited to accessible areas, resulting in poor spatial and temporal coverage. In contrast, satellite imagery provides wide spatial coverage and is therefore an effective approach for retrieving glacier-flow characteristics in remote areas and on a large or even global scale (Li et al, 1998;Berthier et al, 2005;Scherler et al, 2008;Rignot et al, 2011;Dehecq et al, 2015Dehecq et al, , 2019Gardner et al, 2019;Millan et al, 2022).…”
