Summary
National Ice Information Services provide information about past, present and future ice conditions to a large variety of clients both in near real-time and for non-time critical operations. Although these services rely on manual approaches, they will continue to adapt due to the availability of new technologies and evolving client requirements. With the availability of operational Automated Prediction System outputs and the ongoing developments to improve these systems, it is expected that ice services will rely more and more on automated products for guidance.
