Ice Thickness Distribution Test

The objective of this work is to determine the sampling errors that occur when one tries to estimate mean thickness or the ice thickness distribution from one or more profiles of ice draft. That is, we want to put error bars on observations of ice thickness. These error bars are needed if one is to...

Description
Summary:The objective of this work is to determine the sampling errors that occur when one tries to estimate mean thickness or the ice thickness distribution from one or more profiles of ice draft. That is, we want to put error bars on observations of ice thickness. These error bars are needed if one is to use observations to test ice model simulations of thickness distribution.
