The Arctic sea-ice navigability index

A rapidly changing sea-ice regime in the Arctic demands an index that could provide a priori information to icebreakers for hazard-free navigation through ice across the Arctic. This study presents a new sea-ice navigability index, solely based on daily available remote-sensing products. The index h...
