Abstract
The Close-Packing model – a physically based model for wave attenuation in sea ice – is used to infer sea ice thickness from wave observations collected in the Antarctic marginal ice zone during the PIPERS experiment. The model, calibrated for Arctic conditions, predicts ice thickness in good agreement with independent satellite measurements. The calibrated Close -Packing model, which is expressed in a simple monomial form, appears to have broad validity and, therefore, can be a suitable option for operational purposes.
