The meaning of ‘hasFloeSize’ seems ambiguous: sometimes is seems to be used to indicate diameters of individual ‘Floats’ and sometimes to indicate maximum diameters of pieces within ice accumulations. This also casts doubt on the specification of Floe as subclass of Sea Ice. Perhaps Floes and Ice Accumulations should be more clearly distinguished, and hasFloeSize used only in connection with Floes?
