ARCTIC TRAFFICABILITY PROGRAM—A REVIEW
ABSTRACT This paper describes a multiyear program to make an operational assessment on the feasibility of a year‐round Arctic marine transportation system to serve Alaska. Specifically, the three objectives were to: collect meteorological and ice data along potential marine routes; instrument the hu...
