Abstract:
This dataset includes ice accretion information from regular ship meteorological reports, Canadian Coast Guard and ship drilling vessel icing reports from Canadian offshore locations. Records include cause of ice accretion, maximum ice accretion thickness and rate of ice accretion. Data coverage varies spatially and temporally due to the transient nature of ships. Access is on request, and there is a charge for the data. Data procurement selection criteria is by Lat/Long coordinates. Supplier can make data available in TDF1129 format, on either paper or magnetic tape/disk.
