Lake Ice Service for Arctic Climate and Safety

Lead: Kirsikka Heinilä, Finnish Environment Institute


Lake Ice Service

The  Lake Ice Service for Arctic Climate and Safety is integrated to the Finnish Environment Institute’s Earth Observation service. It provides near real-time information about the ice conditions of freshwater lakes, based on satellite imagery and in-situ information (community-based monitoring and governmental observations). It’s an excellent tool for visualizing spatiotemporal data in map format or as statistical time series.
