Affiliation of Contributors: NOAA Federal (VanderWoude), CIGLR - University of Michigan (Liu) Description: USCG uses NOAA CoastWatch-supplied true-color imagery, the RADARSAT ice classification, and ice extent imagery when selecting their ice breaking route. This NOAA-supplied service is critical for the USCG and impacts the shipping traffic in the Great Lakes.
