Abstract
A prototype Ice Monitoring Platform, designed to measure air temperature and the temperature profile of sea ice, and to transmit the data via satellite, was deployed in shore-fast ice along the Labrador coast, giving information on ice thickness and growth through the 1988 ice season (January–May). The rate of release of heat of fusion due to accretion of new ice at the lower surface was found to be nearly equal to the upward conductive heat flux through the ice, indicating that the oceanic heat flux was negligible. Ice growth rates are compared to those predicted by “freezing degree day” formulas.
