Operators may use the Polar Operational Limit Assessment Risk Indexing System (POLARIS) to help in their operational decision-making, both on the tactical and strategic levels. Earth observation data can support this action by either providing data regarding expected sea ice concentration, its varying thickness, and composition of ice in different stages of development or by-products which automatically calculate a vessel's Risk Index Outcome, based on the vessel type and observed conditions.
