Seasonal evolution of the Arctic sea ice thickness distribution ...
The Thorndike et al., (\emph{J. Geophys. Res.} {\bf 80} 4501, 1975) theory of the ice thickness distribution, $g(h)$, treats the dynamic and thermodynamic aggregate properties of the ice pack in a novel and physically self-consistent manner. Therefore, it has provided the conceptual basis of the tre...
