My work focuses on the observation of the thickness of the ice pack and snow over the entire altimetric era to feed climate models of the water cycle under the effect of global warming. This work enables to refine dynamic ice pack models and, using assimilation techniques, to extend ice pack forecasting capacities from a few days to a few months. These results feed into various studies such as ocean circulation, Arctic Amplification, planktonic blooms and navigational safety among the pack ice.
