Abstract
This paper describes the first stage in the development of the Ice Inf ormation System (IIS) to be implemented at the NERSC. The potential us ers of the IIS and typical products and services of the IIS are identi fied. An exhaustive survey of the input data sources is presented with emphasis on differences in formats, spatial and temporal sampling cha racteristics, and measured parameters. The potential problems of integ rating different types of input data are discussed and approaches for overcoming these are mentioned. A number of output scenarios from a mu ltisensor perspective are outlined.
