We investigate an instance of wave propagation in the fall of 2015 in thin pack ice (<0.3 m) and use the resulting attenuation data to calibrate two viscoelastic wave-in-ice models that describe wave evolution. The study domain is 400 km by 300 km adjacent to a marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Beau...
