SHOREBASED RADAR DATA FOR NAVIGATION OF COASTAL AND RESTRICTED ICE COVERED AREAS WITH SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF BYLOT ISLAND, N.W.T., CANADA

A program designed to determine the utility of shorebased radar in aiding navigation in coastal and restricted ice covered areas in the Arctic is described. ... Various data handling requirements and options for the monitoring of coastal and restricted ice covered areas are being examined and assessed. Requirements concerning data utilization for input into prediction models are also being considered. Radar scope data available in photographic, tape, and visual formats are being analyzed. ... The integration and correlation of these forms of data is examined. (Author)
