Long-Range Ice Outlook Antarctic (1969-70).
An outlook of sea ice conditions expected in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound regions of Antarctica is presented for the period mid-December 1969 through mid-February 1970. Oceanographic and climatic data for these areas were analyzed in terms of sea ice growth during the past austral winter. These an...
