Caption: Figure 9.

Distribution of the fractional difference in distance between the neighboring pixels used to compute our average cloud distances in Figures 7 and 8. We find a median fractional difference of ≈5% (blue vertical line), which we adopt as our systematic uncertainty on all reported distance measurements. See Section 4.3 for additional details.
