Domain consistency

Statement: The accuracy of the data varies according to the initial spatial resolution and geolocation of the images and is likely to improve throughout the time sequence as processing and orbit vectors have improved. Bevan et al. (2012) estimated the accuracy for all types of imagery up to 2012 to be at least +/- 76 m.
