Guide for understanding and identifying old ice in summer
Visual observation is the best means of detecting hazardous ice, however operators currently have very little information at their disposal to help determine whether an ice feature is first-year, secondyear or multi-year ice. This paper describes a four-year project that was undertaken to develop a...

Visual observation is the best means of detecting hazardous ice, however operators currently have very little information at their disposal to help determine whether an ice feature is first-year, secondyear or multi-year ice.
