Subject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI 2014.0020Location: Abstract: Based on the ice data material collected since 1919 by the Institute of Marine Research, Finland, the maximum thickness of level ice and the expected maximum thickness of moving ice along the Finnish coast are studied. The former goes from 115 cm in the north down to a little less than 100 cm by the southern coast. The latter was very dependent on the density of island and shoals. In Appendixes detailed tables and maps of the studied quantities are given.
