Seasonal evolution of the sea-ice floe size distribution in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas

The size distribution of ice floes in the polar seas affects the dynamics and thermodynamics of the ice cover, and ice-ocean models are beginning to include the floe size distribution (FSD) in their simulations. The FSD has previously been reported to follow a power law of the form 'x' �...
