org.nsidc:G00874 National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Unknown International Ice Patrol Iceberg Drift Tracks Boulder, CO U.S.A. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) http://nsidc.org/data/G00874.html The International Ice Patrol (IIP) tracks, plots and predicts iceberg positions in the North Atlantic Ocean. The IIP area of responsibility is 40 to 52 degrees North, 39 to 57 degrees West. During several years (1977, 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1989) individual icebergs were 'tagged' with buoys developed by the U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center. The motion of the icebergs bearing the USCG buoys were then tracked via satellite. Observation periods range from one week to two years depending on the buoy. The data are stored in the National Oceanographic Data Center format for drifting buoys (format number 156). scientific research National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Unknown International Ice Patrol Iceberg Drift Tracks Boulder, CO U.S.A.
