Description
Summary:This document describes the test equipment available at the Naval Ocean Systems Center's Arctic Environmental Facility. Ice can be grown to a thickness of 5 feet and arctic temperature can be sustained. User costs and scheduling procedures are described. Types of tests include: Ice penetration methods (above and below), Sonar performance under ice, Through-ice transmission measurements (laser/HF/acoustic/IR), Ice physics and ice fracture mechanics tests, Ice thickness measurement systems, Ice movement effects, Sea water salinity variation tests, Long-term cold soaking of equipment, Geophone performance, etc. (EDC)
