Test case: four videos show the evolution of thickness and viscosity fields for two larger floes connected by a narrow horizontal and vertical bridge, aligned perpendicular and parallel to the wave direction. They depict the thickness and viscosity evolutions over a 24 h period and are played at an accelerated speed.

Full-field case: two videos show the evolution of thickness and viscosity fields of the dynamic-only model, the thermodynamic-only model, and the fully coupled dynamic \& thermodynamic model. They depict the thickness and viscosity evolutions over a 24 h period and are played at an accelerated speed.
