Abstract:
Sea ice thickness distribution acquired from Fram Strait Arctic Outflow Observatory
Quality
Ice thickness distributions are derived on a monthly basis. All sea ice draft measurements in Fram Strait from 1990 to 2019 are classified into draft thickness bins of 0.1 m, ranging from 0 to 8 m (80 bins in total). Number of data samples (ice draft measurements) used to derive the distributions varies from time to time. From 1990 to 2005, O(104) samples are used to derive the distribution functions on monthly basis (measurement interval of 240 seconds in most cases), while after 2006, O(106) samples are used (interval of 2 seconds).
