HISTORICAL RECORD OF THE INCIDENCE OF SEA ICE ON THE SCOTIAN SHELF AND THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE
An historical record of the incidence of sea ice on the Scotian Shelf and the Gulf of St. Lawrence of Atlantic Canada has been compiled on an annual basis from the early 1800’s to 1962. A variety of data sources were used in the compilation of ice records including ice patrol and shipping reports, l...
