Abstract
Abstract Extensive airborne electromagnetic (EM) ice thickness surveys have beenperformed in April 2009, 2011, and 2012 over the Canadian Beaufort Sea with along-range airplane. These are contributing to the Beaufort RegionalEnvironmental Assessment (BREA) project which gathers ice information inpreparation of a regulatory framework for safe and environmental responsibleoil and gas production. Results show that the location of the multiyear iceedge can be very variable from year to year. Multiyear ice modal thicknessesranged between 3.0 and 3.7 m. The seasonal ice zone had very variable icethicknesses depending on the amount and age of ice formed in coastal polynyasand leads throughout the winter. However, we gathered enough data to show thatmodal first-year ice thicknesses of 2.0 to 2.2 m emerge if profiles are longenough, which can be considered the most representative first-year icethickness estimate in the Canadian Beaufort Sea in April. However, in theseasonal ice zone also regions with heavily deformed ice thicker than 10 m, andoccasional multiyear hummock fields of similar thicknesses occur. Resultssuggest that multiyear hummock fields may not comprise the thickest ice as theyare affected by melt during the summer. Two ice islands had thicknesses between20 and 30 m. Our results suggest a melt rate of ice islands of 10 m per year inthe Southern Beaufort Sea. Ice thickness surveys were complemented by theanalysis of satellite radar data and tracking of ice features by means of GPSbeacons. We demonstrate that all these activities combined comprise a powerfultool for a future Arctic sea ice environmental observatory.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
