Arctic ice atlas, Winter, 1996 / Issued by the Canadian Ice Service. : En40-11/34-1996
The objective in compiling this document was to provide ice information for marine operations in Arctic waters during the 1996 shipping season. In addition to its operational utility, the series represents an important climatological archive of winter ice conditions, providing a clearer understanding of variations in Arctic ice regimes both geographically and seasonally. In previous editions most of the information was a product of detailed aerial surveys using a SAR imaging system mounted on an aircraft. This year new information from a satellite borne SAR system has been used. SAR data from the RADARSAT satellite was captured by the Prince Albert receiving station and sent by tape to Gatineau where it was processed and forwarded to the Ice Centre. Most of the data was captured between Feb. 12 and Feb. 15, 1996.--Introduction
