Surface ice-flow velocities measured at stakes on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, covering a period of ∼25 years are analysed for evidence of temporal variations in flow. No indications of significant long-term changes in flow are found. Earlier observations have shown significant tidally relat...
