Ice-thickness based scaling of wave attenuation in sea ice: Application and assessment of wave spectra
W. Erick Rogers, Jie Yu, Jean Rabault +2
This study discusses recent advances in modeling waves in sea ice in the U.S. Navy's regional modeling system. It is applied in the marginal seas of the eastern Arctic Ocean, inclu…
Simple data fusion from several ocean and atmosphere hindcast models improves surface drifter trajectory prediction
Jean Rabault, Knut Frode Dagestad, Gaute Hope
Simulating the trajectory of surface drifters in the ocean matters for search and rescue, pollution tracking, oil and chemical spill response, and marine risk analysis. Accurate pr…
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…
ORB: An Open Radio Buoy for Coastal Water Measurements
Lars Willas Dreyer, Andrea Pferscher, Riccardo Sieve +4
Oceanographic instrumentation technology is currently under rapid transition towards increasingly open-source technology. Open-source buoys compete with commercial and closed-sourc…
SvalMIZ-25 Svalbard Marginal Ice Zone Campaign 2025 -- Cruise Report
M. Müller, J. Rabault, C. Palerme +1
The coupling of weather, sea-ice, ocean, and wave forecasting systems has been a long-standing research focus to improve Arctic forecasting systems and their realism and is also a…
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…
