  11. Sea Ice Condition Chart

    12. Japan Meteorological Agency issues "sea ice information" on every Tuesday and Friday evening from December through May, which includes the statement of sea ice analysis and forecast in a week and the chart of sea ice condition with its concentration in the north-east Asian marginal seas. "Sea ice condition chart" image is a part of "sea ice information" and colored in the sea ice extent by every concentration. This image is updated when sea ice information is issued.

  12. Sea Ice Concentration

    13. The daily sea ice conditions are analyzed for each 0.05 degree latitudinal and longitudinal squares from 115E to 165E between 35N and 65N.
