A method for determining ice cover thickness and strength in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
During the 1980s extensive offshore geophysical surveys yielded over 100,000 measured ice thicknesses in one area of the Arctic Archipelago. The date and location of these measurements are known and can be compared with ice regime information on Canadian Ice Service ice charts from the same time per...
