Ice charting specialists

Infoplaza’s ice charting experts are meteorologists by trade, who have enjoyed intensive training programs on ice formations and its properties. In addition, they have years of hands-on ice charting experience on-site. They have an in depth understanding of how ice forms, moves, evolves, and reacts over the course of the ice season. Ice forecasting requires both meteorological and climatological knowledge in order to understand how, historic sea conditions and seasonal ice patterns may be influenced by expected weather conditions at a location.

Meteorological expertise
Ice formation and propagation is heavily dependent on current weather conditions. Accurate and reliable meteorological solutions are essential in delivering high quality Ice Charting services.
