Description
Summary:Background information and techniques used to analyze and forecast sea ice conditions are presented. Emphasis has ben placed on operationally-oriented analysis and forecast rules and aids and the use of climatological charts containing parameters related directly to operational decision-making based on sea ice conditions. Subject material includes sea ice morphology, characteristics and dynamics, global and regional sea ice distribution and behavior, sea ice modeling, remote sensing principles and techniques, remote sensing systems used for sea ice analysis, auxilliary sea ice observations, meteorological and climatological relationships with sea ice, operational sea ice analysis, and sea ice forecasting techniques.
