The Canadian Government was invited to participate in the ice trials of the USCGC Healy that took place in the spring 2000 off Baffin Island. Transport Canada was the lead agency in the liaison with the US Coast Guard, and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) led the Canadian scientific involvement. This paper provides an overview of the preparations leading to Canada’s participation in the ice trials program, and provides a summary of the scientific results. Complete details of the results can be found in a series of separate reports prepared by the Canadian team. NRC publication: Yes
