REMOTE SENSING IN ICE NAVIGATION

It has been demonstrated that the use of remote sensing systems can significantly increase the level of ice information available to those involved in ice navigation. This increased information enables ship operators to extend their range of operations in ice, save fuel, and reduce vessel wear and damage. The variety of sensors in use, including satellite, airborne and shipborne systems, are outlined. The importance of the communications link for delivery of the information to the ship is emphasized and its requirements are indicated.
