The IDAP (Ice Data Aqusition Programme) project was undertaken on commission from the oil companies to map the iceberg occurence in the Barents sea. The satellite images are provided by Tromsø Satellite Station. The aerial photos were obtained by russian flights in the years 1936-1991. The R/V Lance observations were obtained during the forthnight expeditions in the period 1988-1993.Data contains of: satellite images, aerial photos and observations from ships, as well as data from buoys on the icebergs. Registration of air temperature, buoy temperature, speed and size of the icebergs. The dataset is currently unavailable in any digital format.

In addition, there were some talks about IDAB at the POAC 1993: http://www.poac.com/Papers/POAC93_V1_all.pdf (mostly from page 450). There is also the historic ice chart archive that is partly published hree: http://www.climate-cryosphere.org/resources/historical-ice-chart-archive/about Other parts are not digitalised.
