OpenWaveLogger v2026 (OWL-v2026): an open source, low cost, easy to build, high performance logger for wave data measurements

Jean Rabault, Joey Voermans, Takuji Waseda +10

Ocean wave models are critical for weather and climate forecasting, and accurate in-situ wave observations are essential for validating and improving these models. Open-source, com…

Observations of high-frequency spectral peaks from in-situ waves in ice data: evidence for nonlinear waves in ice triad interactions?

Jean Rabault, Joey Voermans, Takehiko Nose +16

The propagation of waves through the marginal ice zone (MIZ) and deeper into pack ice is a key phenomenon that influences the breakup and drift of sea ice. When waves in ice propag…

An OpenMetBuoy dataset of Marginal Ice Zone dynamics collected around Svalbard in 2022 and 2023

Jean Rabault, Catherine Taelman, Martina Idžanović +28

Sea ice is a key element of the global Earth system, with a major impact on global climate and regional weather. Unfortunately, accurate sea ice modeling is challenging due to the…

Buoy measurements of strong waves in ice amplitude modulation: a signature of complex physics governing waves in ice attenuation

J. Rabault, T. Halsne, A. Carrasco +25

The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) forms a critical transition region between the ocean and sea ice cover as it protects the close ice further in from the effect of the steepest and most…

Observation of wave propagation over 1,000 km into Antarctica winter pack ice

Takehiko Nose, Tomotaka Katsuno, Takuji Waseda +4

A drifting wave-ice buoy, which was configured by mounting the OpenMetBuoy on an ad hoc floating platform that we named Medusa, was deployed at the Lützow-Holm Bay (LHB) marginal i…

Estimating sea ice properties from wave observations in sea ice

J. J. Voermans, J. Rabault, A. Marchenko +3

The Marginal Ice Zone is a highly dynamic region where the atmosphere, ocean, waves and sea ice meet. Waves play a fundamental role in this coupled system, but progress in our unde…

A comparison of an operational wave-ice model product and drifting wave buoy observation in the central Arctic Ocean: investigating the effect of sea ice forcing in thin ice cover

Takehiko Nose, Jean Rabault, Takuji Waseda +7

Two drifting wave buoys were deployed in the central Arctic Ocean, north of the Laptev Sea, where there are historically no wave observations available. An experimental wave buoy w…

A dataset of direct observations of sea ice drift and waves in ice

Jean Rabault, Malte Müller, Joey Voermans +25

Variability in sea ice conditions, combined with strong couplings to the atmosphere and the ocean, lead to a broad range of complex sea ice dynamics. More in-situ measurements are…

OpenMetBuoy-V2021: an easy-to-build, affordable, customizable, open source instrument for oceanographic measurements of drift and waves in sea ice and the open ocean

Jean Rabault, Takehiko Nose, Gaute Hope +17

There is a wide consensus within the polar science, meteorology, and oceanography communities that more in-situ observations of the ocean, atmosphere, and sea ice, are required to…

Experimental evidence for a universal threshold characterizing wave-induced sea ice break-up

J. J. Voermans, J. Rabault, K. Filchuk +7

Waves can drastically transform a sea ice cover by inducing break-up over vast distances in the course of a few hours. However, relatively few detailed studies have described this…

Development of open source instruments for in-situ measurements of waves in ice

Jean Rabault, Joey Voermans, Graig Sutherland +3

The interaction between surface waves and sea ice involves many complex physical phenomena such as viscous damping, wave diffraction, and nonlinear effects. The combination of thes…
