A vast amount of sea ice information is today available at the various ice services in the world. Almost all of this information is stored in the form of ice charts for operational purposes. For statistical or climatological use the chart format is however not convenient and the information needs to be digitized. This is done by assigning numerical values to the ice parameters and to read these values at given grid points on the chart. The charts prepared by the various ice services do not all contain the same number of parameters. The resolution and accuracy also vary according to the use for which the charts are intended. A large degree of flexibility has therefore to be built into the design of both code, format and grid. It should allow digitization of historical ice charts as well as current ones in order to obtain a comprehensive computer-compatible sea ice data bank which is currently updated. The SIGRID format is mainly designed to meet larger scale climate requirements but it may also be used by national services for other purposes. 1, record 2, English, - Format%20for%20Gridded%20Sea%20Ice%20Information

Access to the LAN is logically controlled by user ID, and authentication of the users is by password. The O/S one-way encrypts the passwords that are generated by the EDP Manager, who retains a copy of the user ID and password in a readable format. Since the LAN has been operational for only six months, there has been no need to change passwords. The authentication code(password) must only be known by the authorized user. 1, record 3, English, - logically%20controlled
