BASIS gridded icedata 1963-1979 covering The Baltic Sea
In 612 points icedata in coded form is stored in an ascii file. fi=66deg-r0.25deg lambda=7.5 deg + c0.5 deg The ice code covers temperature: TTTXXX ICECODE:ICDIC(C1C2C3C4C5) all described in BASIS A databank for Baltic sea ice and sea surface temperatures Norrköping 1981 (this paper will be available together with the data .set The datafile is called: BASIS_F.DAT This is a joint project between SMHI and FMI in a winter navigation program. Data have been extracted from reanalyzed ice and surface temperature maps with a frequency of two datsets (maps) a week. 16 seasons are covered. After 1979 a higher resolution has been created. There will be attempts to combine with this dataset at a later stage. The data file has been read with Matlab and mat files of ice concentration and the icecode. These files are also provided.

Pertaining to the measurement of the average kinetic energy of oceanic water.
Pertaining to the study of frozen seawater over the ocean surface.
Any fracture or passage-way through ice which is navigable by surface\nvessels. Leads and other open water areas within the sea ice pack are also\nimportant in studies of the energy budget in the polar regions and in\nlocal and regional climatology.
Ice Types is a general term applied to sea, river, and lake ice todescribe attributes such as age, stage of development or growth, orsurface feature.
The minimum or maximum length of the ice or ice edge into the open water. Also refers to the extent of the ice pack into the open ocean (which varies seasonally).
