Short summary
We use total freeboard data from NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) across both hemispheres and estimates of winter Arctic sea ice thickness to evaluate climate model simulations of sea ice, providing constraints beyond the traditional sea ice area metric. ICESat-2 provides accurate freeboard data, but its short observational record requires careful consideration of natural variability.
