Methodology for estimation of exposure time in marine polar regions / Caitlin Piercey, Allison Kennedy, Jonathan Power.: NR16-300/2019E-PDF

"This report provides a methodology for estimating exposure time in Polar Regions. Using information provided by Canadian Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel and published by Kennedy et al. in 2013, a formula for calculating exposure time was developed and implemented in Python to estimate exposure time at any location in the Polar Regions. Variables considered in the calculation of exposure time include rescue craft speed, capacity, and range, proximity of bases and ports to the route of interest, the number of individuals awaiting rescue, and the number of survival crafts deployed"--Executive Summary, page iv.
