Kara Sea (70E-95E):  

Kara North: Lead in the eastern Kara Sea analyzed using a OLS 175.0518,
175.0656, 176.0150, and 177.0137.  The remainder of the chart estimated using a 
combination of SSM/I, climatology, weather and persistence.
Summary (Kara North): 75% OLS, 25% estimated.

Kara South: Entire southern Kara Sea analyzed using OLS 176.1319, 176.0150,
177.1500, 175.0656, 175.0518, and 177.0451. 
Summary (Kara South): 100% OLS

Barents Sea (0-70E): 

Barents North: RADARSAT 23/0442Z, 23/0620Z, 23/0622Z, 24/0413Z, 25/0343Z, 
25/0523 used to analyzed southwest of Spitsbergen, North of Spitsbergen and the 
edge in the Northern Barents sea.  The remainder estimated using climatology,
persistence, and weather.  Most of the RADARSAT imagery generally too far south 
due to the rapid recession of the ice edge.
Summary: 40% RADARSAT, 60% estimated.

Barents South: Entire area analyzed using OLS 26/0244Z. 
Summary: 100% OLS.

Baltic Sea: Sea Ice Free

Island, analyzed using OLS 177.2147.  Area in the northern portion of the Gulf 
of Boothia analyzed using OLS 178.0230 and AVHRR 178.1050.  The Parry Channel 
near the Lancaster Sound analyzed using OLS 178.0230 and 178.1050.  Remainder of 
the chart estimated using a combination of climatology, weather and persistence.
Summary: 60% OLS, 20% AVHRR, 20% estimated.

Baffin Bay/Davis Strait: Baffin Bay analyzed using OLS 177.1150Z.  Davis Strait, 
with exception of ice edge from 64N-68N, analyzed using OLS 177.2147Z.

Summary: 85% OLS, 15% estimated.

Labrador Sea: Entire area analyzed using OLS 177.2147Z.
Summary: 100% OLS.

Gulf of St. Lawrence: Sea Ice Free

northeastern Hudson analyzed using DMSP OLS f13.01175.2353Z. Area east of 
Belcher Islands and northeastern Hudson estimated using SSM/I, climatology, 
weather, and persistence.
Summary: 90% DMSP OLS, 10% estimated.

Foxe Basin: Entire area analyzed using DMSP OLS f13.01176.1203Z.
Summary: 100% DMSP OLS.

Greenland South/Southwest: Area from 68N-70N and 33W-25W analyzed using DMSP OLS 
f13.01177.1305.  Southern portion of area analyzed using OLS f13.01177.2147. 
Greenland southwest small portions analyzed using DMSP OLS f13.01177.2147, 
f13.01176.1840, and f13.01175.2151.  Remainder of area estimated using a 
combination of SSM/I from 26 Jun, Quickscat from 26 Jun, Danish Ice analysis 
chart valid 24 Jun, climatology and meteorology.
Summary: 20% OLS, 80% estimated.

Greenland Central: Area from 68N-72N and 26W-15W analyzed using Radarsat from 23 
Jun: 0805.  Area from 70N-74N and 19W-08W analyzed using Radarsat from 24 Jun: 
0735.  Area from 70N-77N and 25W-10W analyzed using DMSP OLS f13.01177.0630.  
Area around Scoresby Sound analyzed using DMSP OLS f13.01177.1305.  Remainder of 
area estimated using a combination of SSM/I from 26 Jun, Quickscat from 26 Jun,
