DIAGNOSTICS OF ICE CONDITIONS OF NAVIGATION BY THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS METHOD ON THE BASIS OF GIS-TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

The technique and software for the comparative analysis of ice conditions along the Arctic navigation routes has been developed in the AARI. The main algorithm of the method is a comparison of ice conditions along navigation route with the average for the season ice conditions during a long-term period and ice condition classification in accordance with the navigation difficulty. The basis of the method is the database of ice conditions along the traditional navigation routes.
