If wind force increases above force 6, the rate of ice accretion increases because:
|
||||
|
|
Air temperature falls below -2°C |
||||
|
|
Sea temperature decreases |
||||
|
|
Shipping seas and sprays increases
|
|
|
Rate of ice accretion on a slow moving ship with the wind ahead or on the beam, given wind and sea temperature, can be estimated using "Icing Nomograms" given in mariner's handbook (reproduced below): |
