Description
Summary:Interest in the polar regions has increased manyfold in recent years principally due to the newly developing economic incentives and revived military significance of the Arctic and the continuing scientific research in the Antarctic. Improvement and further development of operational sea ice forecasting techniques that allow our naval forces to operate safely in these areas depend heavily upon the maintenance of historical ice data files. The Aerial Ice Reconnaissance and Satellite Ice Information Microfilm File effectively substitutes for the terminated Oceanographic Office annual reports of the arctic and antarctic ice observing and forecasting programs. This publication provides the researcher with listings of available microfilm in one of the Navy's more extensive ice data files and describes the procedures to follow to obtain copies of the original chart analyses of aerial ice reconnaissance and satellite ice data.
