The Development of a U.S. Climatology of Extreme Ice Loads
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.ncdc.C00354
Summary
Abstract:
The Development of a U.S. Climatology of Extreme Ice Loads is a technical report available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Ice thickness (and therefore weight) is a key engineering design consideration in the construction of many structures which are subject to outdoor weather, such as cables, towers, wires, etc. Detailed information for engineers regarding ice loads from freezing rain has been sorely lacking, due to a deficiency of site-specific data. Therefore, a consortium of individuals and government agencies undertook a project to produce a U.S. climatology of ice thickness due to freezing rain, in the form of an extreme value analysis. This 23-page report describes this effort, along with future plans for further development.
Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: technical report CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: Ground Condition Fees, if applicable, are displayed on the web page for obtaining these data; fees are also dependent on customer order specifications. Please contact NCDC for further information on fees and terms for retrieving these data.
