IICWGInternational Ice Charting Working Group
IICWGInternational Ice Charting Working Group
WMO
• Sub-Group on Sea Ice
• formal international co-ordinating body between Met. Agencies
• international standards
• projects: e.g. Global Digital Sea Ice Data Bank Project
• ad-hoc working group on operational issues
• areas of interest - common technology - data exchange - analyst training - operational data access - applied R + D
• complementary to WMO-SGSI
• activities: - liaison and coordination - collaborative R + D
• informal working group of Canadian ice specialists • to promote linkages:
1. gov’t - industry - university
2. multiple disciplines in ice: - remote sensing - climate science - operations - modelling - ice mechanics - offshore engineering
• actvities: - thematic workshops, every 18-24 months

IICWG II IICWG II Goals and ObjectivesGoals and Objectives
• Extend model of operational cooperation and coordination of JIWG to other operational ice charting centers
• From IICWG-1 the following key areas were identified:
- common technology- data exchange
- analyst training - operational data access - coordinated R + D
- leverage funding/science opportunites through multi-agency participation

IICWG II IICWG II Goals and ObjectivesGoals and Objectives
• Report on key action items from IICWG-I– Information and idea exchange on existing research and projects– Harmonize ice charting formats to enable the exchange of
operational ice products
– Attempt to influence data policies of flight agencies to better meet the requirements of the operational ice services
• Development of collaborative action plan for current issues
• Solidification of IICWG as effective, beneficial working group
