Data collection program on ice regimes onboard the CCG Icebreakers: 2002 to 2004

During the summers of 2002, 2003 and 2004, a data collection program was carried out onboard six Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers. Information was collected on the ice conditions (ice regimes) and the stage of melting (decay) of the ice. In total, 345 ice regimes were documented and photographed. Ba...

Description
Summary:During the summers of 2002, 2003 and 2004, a data collection program was carried out onboard six Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers. Information was collected on the ice conditions (ice regimes) and the stage of melting (decay) of the ice. In total, 345 ice regimes were documented and photographed. Based on this information, the severity of the ice regimes were evaluated in terms of the Canadian Arctic Ice Regime Shipping System. This report provides a description of the data collection program for the full three years and an overview of the results. NRC publication: Yes
