Description
Summary:The Ice Observation Handbook, a compendium of aerial, ship, and shore codes and terminology, has been designed primarily for use by the ice observer in the field and by those activities routinely making use of sea ice products. Complete explanations of all NAVPOLAROCEANCEN ice codes, as well as, a complete explanation of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ice codes, abbreviations, and glossary of the ice terminology are included. Additionally, graphic aides defining sea ice thickness matrix are contained for reference. The information contained in this handbook should clarify communications between the observer/forecaster, and the field user by standardizing reporting procedures and eliminating confusion regarding current codes and terminology. Supersedes ADA111571.
