Sea Ice Observation Software

Software has been written for PC in C++ for storing, quality controlling and conducting basic statistical analysis on the ice observation data. Version 2.22 is available as of July 1999.

There are three files required to run the software:

SEAICE.EXE: This is the executable version of the software.

GRID.VBX: This is a system file that must be copied to enable the executable to run. It needs to be unzipped after downloading.

LANDMASK.MAP: This is a file of latitude and longitude points around the Antarctic coastline and is used for plotting purposes. It needs to be unzipped after downloading.

Run the executable file from Windows by double clicking the icon. When you run the executable a new file (seaice.cfg) will be created, which stores the software configuration information. This file is automatically updated when the user changes any default settings. It is important to remember to delete this file before installing future upgrades of the seaice.exe software.

Antarctic CRC Research Report 14: This is a written report containing instructions on how to conduct sea ice observations, and a user manual for the ice observation software. Alternatively, copies of the report are available by mail by contacting:
