An outlook of sea ice conditions expected in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound regions of Antarctica is presented for the period mid-December 1969 through mid-February 1970. Oceanographic and climatic data for these areas were analyzed in terms of sea ice growth during the past austral winter. These analyses, combined with ice conditions observed by aerial reconnaissance on 2 and 18 November and by satellite for the period 11 through 18 November and a comprehensive study of historical ice and climatic information, formed the basis for the 1969-70 Ice Outlook. In summary, heavy ice conditions were observed in the Ross Sea and light conditions and a near-normal extent of fast ice were observed in McMurdo Sound on the preliminary aerial reconnaissance. Ice conditions are expected to be lighter in McMurdo Sound and heavier in the Ross Sea in comparison to the 1968-69 season. (Author).

An outlook of expected sea ice conditions in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound regions of Antarctica is presented for the period mid-November 1967 through mid-January 1968. Oceanographic and climatic data for these areas were analyzed in terms of sea ice growth during the past austral winter. These analyses, combined with observed ice conditions for the period 2 through 12 October 1967 and a comprehensive study of historical ice and climatic information, formed the basis for the 1967-68 Ice Outlook. Although temperatures have been near normal throughout the ice growth season, the ice drift indicates a heavier-than-normal compaction of ice in the Ross Sea west of 170E. In terms of the 1966-67 season, ice conditions are expected to be slightly heavier in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound. (Author).

An outlook of expected sea ice conditions in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound regions of Antarctica is presented for the period mid-November 1966 through mid January 1967. Oceanographic and climatic data for these areas were analyzed in terms of sea ice growth during the past austral winter. These analyses, combined with observed ice conditions for the period 3 through 8 October 1966 and a comprehensive study of historical ice and climatic information, formed the basis for the 1966-67 Ice Outlook. Evaluation of this information indicates that present ice conditions are similar to those observed during the 1964-65 season. In terms of the 1965-66 season, ice conditions are expected to be slightly heavier in the Ross Sea with less fast ice to be broken in McMurdo Sound.
