THE PROBABILITY AND INTENSITY OF ICING OF SEA-GOING VESSELS

VEROYATNOST' I INTENSIVNOST' OBLEDENENIYA MORSKIKH SUNDOV

Deals with ice formation on ships at sea and defines three rates of icing which occur on arctic seas. When the ship becomes covered with a thick ice layer, its center of gravity shifts upward and its stability in the water becomes doubtful. Slow icing takes place at recurrent negative temperatures in wind up to 9 m/sec. Rapid icing occurs with temperatures of -2 degrees C or less recurring and wind at greater than 10 m/sec, and icing becomes very rapid below -4 degrees C in wind below 10 m/sec. The distribution of these rates of icing is charted for the Okhotsk and Bering Seas and Gulf of Alaska.
