Sea ice forecast data HELMI
A two-day forecast of sea ice movements in Finnish waters, produced by the Finnish Meteorological Institute during the winter season. It focuses on ice motion speeds, ice gradient, the opening of gaps, and compression situations affecting navigation. The forecast is typically derived from a daily ice map combined with the institute's wind and temperature forecasts, providing an operational picture of expected changes in sea ice conditions over the following two days.A two-day forecast of sea ice movements produced by the Finnish Meteorological Institute during the winter season.
