Estimating the sea ice floe size distribution using satellite altimetry: theory, climatology, and model comparison
<p>In sea-ice-covered areas, the sea ice floe size distribution (FSD) plays an important role in many processes affecting the coupled sea–ice–ocean–atmosphere system. Observations of the FSD are sparse – traditionally taken via a painstaking analysis of ice surface photography – and the season...
