	National Ice Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Ice Center is a tri-agency operational center whose mission is to provide world-wide navigational ice analyses for the armed forces of the United States and allied nations, U.S. government agencies, and the private sector.
		It was formed in 1995 when the Coast Guard joined the Joint Ice Center.
		It is represented by the United States Navy (Department of Defense); the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Department of Commerce); and the United States Coast Guard (Department of Transportation).

		The National Ice Center (NIC) faxed daily ice maps to the ship as it passed Alaska, says Weller, director of the Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
		NIC is a rare example of what the feds call a "multi-agency operational center," a cooperative effort among the Department of Defense (Navy), Department of Commerce (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and Department of Transportation (Coast Guard).
		Ice watchers are still talking about the massive bergs B-15 and C-16 (named by location and number of bergs in a longitudinal quadrant), which created an unprecedented "ice jam" in the Antarctic's Ross Sea.

	Pettit National Ice Center Information
		For instance, for a circle, the center is defined as the point equidistant from all points on the circle's boundary.
		Pieces in the center generally possess more activity and have a greater impact on the game than those that do not.
		# In chess, the center refers to either the central four squares (d4,e4,d5,e5) or the central 16 squares (c3-c6,d3-d6,e3-e6,f3-f6), which are strategically important in all phases of the game.

	Martin and Partington
		The mandate of the National / Naval Ice Center is to provide sea-ice analyses, forecasts, outlooks and ship-routing recommendations within the marginal ice zone of all Arctic and Antarctic seas, with support from U.S. Navy, NOAA and the U.S. Coastguard.
		With its direct contact with national customers, enhanced recently through a customer survey, and the availability of a near-real time stream of sea-ice observations from many sources, the NIC is in a unique position to evaluate the operational requirements for PIPS 3.0.
		Of particular note is the problem of assimilating ice drift vectors which represent ice movement within a very narrow band of temporal frequencies and it will be important to ensure that the assimilation procedure is carried out in a physically meaningful manner.

	deseretnews.com Iceberg breaks away in Antarctic
		The National Ice Center provides worldwide ice analyses and tracking to assist the military and private shippers.
		The giant sheet of glacial ice and snow was named C-18, meaning that it's the 18th iceberg to be tracked in that section of Antarctica since 1976, when record keeping began.
		Meanwhile, however, new measurements indicate the ice in parts of Antarctica is thickening, reversing earlier estimates that the sheet was melting.

	JPL.NASA.GOV: SeaWinds Tracks Antarctic Ice Escapades
		The center is the U.S. Navy/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agency charged with tracking icebergs in the Southern Hemisphere and mapping sea ice globally.
		Long and the National Ice Center will be watching C19 and its icy colleagues until they break up or melt, a process that can take months or decades.
		"I assumed that the National Ice Center already knew all about it, but when we called them later to ask for identification, they told us that they didn't know there was an iceberg in that location." It turned out that the center had been tracking the Rhode Island-sized iceberg, called B10A, for several years.

	JS Online: Calving season continues as iceberg separates from ice shelf
		The iceberg, named C-19 by the National Ice Center in Suitland, Md., was confirmed and measured using satellite imagery late Friday, said U.S. Navy spokesman Paul McKenna, the command duty officer at the ice center Saturday.
		For the second time in a week, a massive iceberg has calved from the Ross Ice Shelf near Antarctica's McMurdo Station, but this one is about four times larger than the one that broke off last week, according to the National Ice Center and researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
		He considers that ice shelf, which is on the opposite side of the continent, a mirror image of the Ross Ice Shelf.

		Comparing this data to records from the federal government's National Ice Center, which tracks icebergs larger than ten miles on one side, he determined that previous tracking measures were inadequate, resulting in a gross undercounting.
		The BYU group has been working with the National Ice Center since 1999, when Long rediscovered a massive iceberg, the size of Rhode Island, threatening Argentine shipping lanes.
		The Ice Center had lost track of it because of cloudy skies.

		The National Ice Center (NIC) is a unique interagency organization with oversight from the Departments of Defense (DoD), Commerce (DoC), and Transportation (DoT), and it serves both Defense and U.S. national interests.
		NIC also manages the U.S. component of the Interagency Arctic Buoy Program (IABP), whose goal is to maintain a network of buoys in the Arctic to measure surface atmospheric pressure, surface air temperature, and sea-ice drift in support of global weather models and scientific research.
		Similarly, although it is not an official mission, NIC has been tracking icebergs in the Antarctic region for 24 years.

		The icebergs were designated C-18 and C-19 by the Suitland, Md.-based National Ice Center (NIC), a joint operation of the U.S. Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
		Researchers at the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Antarctic Meteorological Research Center (AMRC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and meteorologists at McMurdo Station, NSF's logistics hub in Antarctica, almost simultaneously noticed the break in the Ross Shelf where C-19 calved.
		The exact location of the center of iceberg C-19 is 77.23 South 173.30 East and its dimensions are108nm long by 17nm wide.

	SeaWinds Tracks Floating Island Of Ice
		When it was rediscovered earlier this month heading northeast between Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula, the National Ice Center issued an iceberg navigation warning to the Argentine government.
		A check with the Naval Ice Center confirmed the iceberg's identity and has enabled scientists to continue tracking its journey through the Drake Passage.
		Although conventional methods of tracking sea-surface ice -- using ships' radar, shipping reports, optical images from satellites and microwave sensor data -- are usually sufficient for tracking large pieces of ice, icebergs can sometimes disappear in the poor visibility of dark, cloudy Antarctic winters.

	Late twentieth century Northern Hemisphere sea-ice record from U.S. National Ice Center ice charts
		Recently released operational ice charts from the U.S. National Ice Center provide insight into the late twentieth century behavior of Northern Hemisphere sea ice, providing more reliable ice concentrations during summer and freeze-up than those available from the passive microwave record.
		Establishing the true pattern of recent behavior of the sea ice in this region is critical to simulating the role of sea ice in future climate.
		Arctic sea ice plays a key role in the climate system, by acting as the interface between a warm ocean and a cold atmosphere.
