Ice Information

Routing management support model

The results of the routing management support model are provided in the form of animated graphic images of the chart of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, which indicate the evolution of the forecast situation on a period of forty eitht hours beginning at the moment the model is activated with proper input data for each of the data domains listed hereunder.

A colour code is used to provide the index variation by data domain.

For each data domain, a legend corresponding to the colour code is displayed directly in the interface.

The animated graphic images can be viewed by using the standard "Windows Media Viewer" included in your version of Microsoft Windows.

The Ice routing management support model results are not available outside the winter season. You will find the results of February 4th 2010 as examples by clicking on the following links:
