The modelling of sea-ice floes has received increasing attention in recent years, as floe size distribution influences heat and momentum fluxes in the marginal ice zone (MIZ). Most observations of sea-ice floe properties are obtained from satellite imagery, which allows the extraction of floe size distributions over large spatial scales. In addition to optical and radar satellite observations, floe characteristics can also be inferred from altimeter measurements.{{cite journal |
