Short summary

During February and March 2024, we realized a multi-instrument field campaign in the St. Lawrence Estuary, to capture swell-driven sea ice fragmentation. The dataset combines geophones, wave buoys, smartphones, and video recordings with drones, to study wave-ice interactions under natural conditions. It enables analysis of ice thickness, wave properties, and ice motion. Preliminary results show strong consistency across instruments, offering a valuable resource to improve sea ice models.
