1 Ice and Metocean Services Patrick Eriksson Product Manager / Ice Expert, Marine Services

2 Marine Services Ice Service Sea level Flood Centre Sea surface temperature Waves Drifting Oil spills Tsunamis

3 Marine warnings Warnings given Water level Waves Ice accretion on vessels Up to three days ahead Warnings are based on observations, models and analysis Example on 25 th of Dec. 2011

4 Finnish Ice Service Earth Observation Data RS-2, Sentinel, CSK,TSX NOAA, Modis, VIIRS Oceanographic and Weather Models Ice Service Collection Analysis Production Distribution Ice Information Products Charts Reports Ice code Forecasts Satellite images Image classifications Users of the Ice Users at sea Information Users at land Finnish Meteorological Institute / Jouni Vainio

6 Radarsat Ice charting from SAR image Ice chart

7 Ice service past to present Finland has long experience in ice monitoring first done in Systematically since First icebreakers in 1890 s. Ice chart published once a week starting in Ice report published in newspapers once a week starting January All major harbours kept open since SAR images / winter (Radarsat, COSMO) Visual bandwidth images as available

8 Oil combatting FMI provides oil drift forecasts for the finnish authorities

9 Focus Areas Customer needs On-going hydrocarbon exploration Sahalin Kara Sea Barents Sea Beaufort Sea Norther Sea Route North-West Passage

10 What services are needed? Safety and environmental aspects are important. Actors in the area need reliable information. Data is needed for design of structures as well as to support operation. Examples of needed data and services: Statistics, observations and forecasts: Weather Sea state Ice (sea-ice thickness and drift, icebergs) Satellite information Cunsultation services

11 Identified hazards Fast drifting ice Rapid changes or reversals in ice drift Fluctuating ice loads Ice Compression Ocean spray icing

12 Objectives Climate > logistics, equipment performance, staff, technical solutions, electronics Careful Planning > local conditions, reliable production chain Highlight challenges when operating in ice

13 ARCTIC ICE THICKNESS (satellites + ice model + algorithm) ICE DRIFT (SAR-satellite data)

14 Used to support NSR navigation Still valuable! Light purple line = coastline or fast ice edge A = compact ice, cm thick B = very close ice, cm C = thick very close ice, cm D = new ice, < 10 cm E = open water or new ice, < 5 cm F = close ice, cm G = consolidated ice, cm, rafted

15 EO SAR classification

21 Ice feature tracking (here coastal radar station) Lead Beacon Ship track Ridges Radar

22 Customized products for the Arctic Examples in the Kara and Barents Sea Ice Concentration from SAR during the melting period Waypoint forecasts Ice movement (SAR-satellite bases)

23 Product Integration Comprehensive view of the prevailing ice conditions All data visualized on a single system (whole IM team) Coherent information Optimization tools

24 Data integration into user platforms Satellite image Weather forecast

25 Ice compression forecast Ice drift forecast

26 Ship radar and radar satellite images compare well. Polarstern WaMoS radar image on a COSMO SkyMed SAR image (both X-band)
