Data collection program on ice regimes onboard the CCG icebreakers - 2003
A field program was designed and carried out onboard six Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers during the summer of 2003. Information was collected on the ice conditions (ice regimes) and the stage of melting (decay) of the ice. In total, 57 ice regimes were documented and photographed. Based on this inf...

| Summary: | A field program was designed and carried out onboard six Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers during the summer of 2003. Information was collected on the ice conditions (ice regimes) and the stage of melting (decay) of the ice. In total, 57 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 and an overview of the results. Un programme de collecte de données sur le terrain à bord de six brise-glaces de la Garde côtière canadienne a été conçu et exécuté pendant l’été de 2003. On a recueilli de l’information sur l’état des glaces (régimes de glaces) et le stade de fonte (décroissance). Au total, 57 régimes de glaces ont été documentés et photographiés. D’après l’information recueillie, la rigueur des régimes de glaces a été évaluée en terme du Système des régimes de glaces pour la navigation dans l'Arctique. Ce rapport présente une description du programme de collecte de données et une vue d’ensemble des résultats. NRC publication: Yes |
