Hi everyone, I have to give a (very) quick overview on Friday of what observations are needed to improve/validate sea ice models (specifically in East Antarctica).

Ice thickness is a gimme, and I’m thinking high vertical res upper ocean profiles (enough to resolve mixed layer processes). Anything else?

Anything specific to the ‘wet’ ocean? @PSpence
