An operational iceberg trajectory forecasting model for the Grand Banks of Newfoundland / Sylvain de Margerie, John F. Middleton, Chris Garrett, Steven Marquis, Fouad Majaess, Karen Lank.
Title: | An operational iceberg trajectory forecasting model for the Grand Banks of Newfoundland / Sylvain de Margerie, John F. Middleton, Chris Garrett, Steven Marquis, Fouad Majaess, Karen Lank. |
Author(s): | Margerie, Sylvain de. Middleton, John F. Garrett, Chris. Marquis, Steven. Majaess, Fouad. Lank, Karen. |
Date: | 1986. |
Publisher: | Ottawa: Environmental Studies Revolving Funds |
In: | Environmental Studies Revolving Funds Report. (1986.), Vol. 052 (1986) |
Abstract: | Many numerical forecasting models use deterministic prediction schemes which have fallen into disfavour due to lack of accuracy because of inability to forecast oceanic eddies which account for large part of iceberg motion. Approach used here treats effects of such uncertainties statistically as valuable information may be derived from past iceberg observations, allowing prediction of likely future positions. Iceberg observations for 1984 and 1985 were available for this analysis. |
