Abstract
CSIIS is a database and information system which enables scientists and engineers to gain access to ice data abstracted from consultant, industry, and government reports, as well as historical ice concentration data collected during routine ice reconnaissance operations. Quantitative data are presented as statistical summaries of the author´s results or am raw data. The user may obtain distribution and drift track mapping, frequency histograms and x-y plots. Text files provide descriptive comments on field techniques used to collect data and to advise the user of any unusual environmental conditions occurring during the study. CSIIS also incorporates a statistical analysis package and a bibliographic search option.
