  abstract = {{S}well evolution from the open ocean into sea ice is poorly understood, in particular the amplitude attenuation expected from scattering and dissipation. {N}ew synthetic aperture radar ({SAR}) data from {S}entinel-1{A} wave mode reveal intriguing patterns of bright oscillating lines shaped like instant noodles. {W}e investigate cases in which the oscillations are in the azimuth direction, around a straight line in the range direction. {T}his observation is interpreted as the distortion by the {SAR} processing of crests from a first swell, due to the presence of a second swell. {S}ince deviations from a straight line should be proportional to the orbital velocity toward the satellite, swell height can be estimated, from 1.5 to 5m in the present case. {T}he evolution of this 13s period swell across the ice pack is consistent with an exponential attenuation on a length scale of 200km.},
