Eastern Arctic Area 15- and 30-Day Ice Forecasting Guide.
Procedures for preparing 15- and 30-day forecasts of ice conditions in the eastern North American Arctic which relate current and historical ice data to environmental parameters are given. Background data on the environmental factors which influence the growth, movement, and decay of sea ice in the...
