A new research by Uusinoka et al. examines the multifractal characteristics of sea ice deformation using season-long radar observations from the MOSAiC expedition. The study shows that sea ice deformation evolves throughout winter: in early winter, a wide range of deformation events produces a two-phase multifractal spectrum, while later in the season, deformation is dominated by few larger monofractal deformations events  . The analysis identifies threshold spatial and temporal domain sizes necessary for observing multifractality, which increase with ice thickness and strength. These findings not only provide new results on sea ice physics but also guide developments on advanced sea ice models to better simulate dynamics of the Arctic pack ice.
