Challenge Description |
||||||||
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
Ice thickness is important for safety and access. Lake ice needs to be thick enough to support equipment. Sea ice needs to be grounded for safe travel. |
||||||||
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
Hazard and risk assessment is dependent upon up-to-date information on lake, river and coastal ice conditions. |
||||||||
Thematic information requirements: |
Water quantity |
|||||||
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
Reconnaissance surveys and use a GPR for ice thickness and ice augering. |
||||||||
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
Map of Ice thickness for specific date in advance of field surveys. |
||||||||
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
Interested in potential solutions if timeliness and accuracy can be ensured. |
