Arctic sea-ice diffusion from observed and simulated Lagrangian trajectories

We characterize sea-ice drift by applying a Lagrangian diffusion analysis to buoy trajectories from the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) dataset and from two different models: the standalone Lagrangian sea-ice model neXtSIM and the Eulerian coupled ice–ocean model used for the TOPAZ reanal...
