International audience Arctic sea ice is thinning (Meier, 2017) in conjunction with the decrease in the area covered by thick multiyear ice (MYI) (Kwok, 2018), which is replaced by thinner first-year ice (FYI) that is more mobile and less dynamically stable (Rampal et al., 2009; J. Zhang et al., 201...
