摘要:Sea ice data has significant scientific value for climate studies, environmental impact studies, and engineering studies for theconstruction of facilities in Arctic waters, as well as support for tourism and fishing planning. Large collections of such data areacquired, compiled, produced and maintained by national and international agencies such as the Canadian Ice Service (CIS).However, current data dissemination and distribution practices do not foster an easy access to and use of the data, especially giventhe huge amount of archived sea ice data and the nature of their spatial changes and frequent temporal variations. This paper reportsan effort in developing a web-based ice information system using geographical information system (GIS) technology. The systemprovides web-based tools to facilitate the exploration, visualization, analysis and downloading of historical sea ice data. The CISArchive and related services are examined for the system design and development
