Description
Summary:The report describes observed relationships between April mean pressure patterns in Siberia and the Alaskan Arctic and summer ice conditions in the shipping lanes along the North Coast of Alaska. A long range ice forecasting method, based on these relationships, is introduced in its' preliminary state. Also presented is a graphical display of the cyclical nature of ice conditions along the Alaskan North Coast between 1953 and 1975. (Author)
