Need to remove ice features from the force profiles when estimating microstructure.
Assumptions
Sharp and decrease in force between snow and discrete ice features
Typically < 1 cm in thickness (find literature to support, from personal exp.)
Should not interpolate to fill as the thermodynamic conditions are often contrasting between sides (ie ice conducts heat and can limit vapour transport).
