Info

Ice Reports or Ice Observations Ice reports from ships or aircraft are normally relayed through MCTS Centres for broadcast. These reports are all assimilated in the daily ice charts produced by CIS. Ice Charts Available Current ice conditions charts are produced on a daily basis. The area covered by the chart depends on the time of year and these charts are normally broadcast at times specified in tables below. Once a week, CIS produces Regional ice charts. These charts are intended to be used as a planning tool rather than a tactical support tool and are available on the CIS Website at http://ice-glaces.ec.gc.ca and through commercial communication lines. They are not broadcast through MCTS Centres. Ice Beacons In order to better track the ice drift or to verify ice models, CIS deploys between 4 to 8 ice beacons yearly. While most beacons are only reporting their positions, a few are equipped with barometric pressure sensor and longer lasting battery pack to provide surface pressure information in data sparse regions. These devices drift with the ice/iceberg and are relatively small, so they are very hard to detect from a ship especially if they have been covered with snow. Beacons are deployed primarily in the Central Arctic, Eastern Arctic and the Labrador Coast regions. Through partnership with the International Arctic Buoy Program, CIS will provide, when possible, beacon(s) to be deployed in the Beaufort Sea. Weatheradio Canada Detailed ice forecasts are not broadcast via Weatheradio. Mariners planning operations in these waters may obtain details regarding ice conditions by consulting the CIS website, or contacting their regional MCTS Centre. Detailed ice information may also be obtained through consultation with an Environment Canada meteorologist using the “Weather One-on-One” ‘1-900’ service at 1-900-565-5555. For cell phone users and credit card billing call 1-888-292-2222. User fees apply. Ice Areas Areas for which ice forecasts apply are identical to the marine forecasts area. In addition to these, ice forecasts will cover Lake Michigan, and may cover 3 areas along the East Coast (501 to 503), and two more off the Greenland Coast (511-512). 501 Tail of the Grand Banks 502 Flemish 503 Southeast Labrador Sea 511 Greenland Central 512 Greenland North 541 Lake Michigan 50W 55W 224 223 45W 503 55N Environment Environnement Canada Canada ICE INFORMATION AREAS EASTERN CANADA 40W 50N 80N 130 129 137 138 512 75N Environment Environnement Canada Canada ICE INFORMATION AREAS NORTHERN CANADA 70N 222 238 502 45N 176 139 140 511 237 236 65N 60W 221 220 235 232 234 141 142 217 231 215 213 280 214 209 212 233 501 40N 143 147 144 145 146 60N 210 80W 70W 60W 5 - 20
Ice charts The following list describes ice charts produced to support Canadian Coast Guard operations which are available for broadcast. All available charts can be transmitted or re-transmitted on request. MCTS broadcast times are found in Chapter 2. METOC Halifax broadcast times are found immediately following this section.
