Uncertainty-Aware Sea-Ice Type Mapping with Multiple Ice Charts
Sea-ice stage of development (SoD) describes the age and associated thickness of sea ice and provides important information for navigation, and operational ice monitoring. SoD labels are obtained from operational ice charts, where trained analysts interpret satellite observations and assign standardized stage codes to regions with similar ice conditions. These codes often represent ranges of compatible ice thicknesses rather than exact physical values. Deep-learning methods can automate SoD mapping and commonly adopt operational ice charts as reference labels for training. These annotations are not exact, however; this is because chart interpretation relies on analyst judgement and on the...
