Abstract
This year the Coast Guard oceanographic program in connection with International Ice Patrol has been reactivated on a full scale basis. The oceanographic vessel, fully equipped and staffed, has already begun its observational program in the Grand Banks area to construct the first dynamic current chart in that region since before the War. Throughout the ice season periodic oceanographic surveys will be made of the most critical of the ice‐infested regions. The surface‐current maps resulting from these surveys are used immediately by the patrol cutters, and the Commander International Ice Patrol at Argentia, Newfoundland, to plan ice scouting by sea and air, and to predict ice movement. As usual the results of this research will be published in the annual report of the Ice Patrol. Coast Guard Bulletin No. 32 International Ice Observation and lee Patrol Service in the North Atlantic Ocean. Season of 1946. which covers 1942 to 1945 also, has already been distributed. Bulletin No. 31, for 1941 is still in preparation.
