Short summary
We tracked sea ice deformation over a nine-month period using high-resolution ship radar data and a state-of-the-art deep learning technique. We observe that the typically consistent scale-invariant pattern in sea ice deformation has a possible lower limit of about 102 meters in winter, but this behavior disappears during summer. Our findings provide important insights for considering current modeling assumptions and for connecting the scales of interest in sea ice dynamics.
