The ice thickness distribution (ITD) is one of thecore constituents of modern sea ice models. The ITD ac-counts for the unresolved spatial variability of sea ice thick-ness within each model grid cell. While there is a generalconsensus on the added physical realism brought by theITD, how to discreti...
