Description
Summary:This document is a compilation of weekly sea ice reports for East Antarctica. The reports were prepared to support ship operations in the region during the shipping season in 2012/2013. They were primarily used as a guidance for the Australian Antarctic program, but were partly provided to other Antarctic operators. In particular, Amaltal Explorer's whale acoustics and tagging voyage (VWHALE, 30/01/2013 to 16/03/2013) and Tangaroa's Mertz Polynya voyage 2013 (03/02/2013 to 13/03/2013) were supported with sea ice reports.
