Excerpt from International Ice Observation and Patrol Service in the North Atlantic Ocean: Season of 1951 The activities of the International Ice Patrol for the 1951 season are presented herein. This bulletin adheres to the same general pattern established in previous years except that the Table of Ice Reports returns to the former practice of listing all ice reports chronologically without regard to whether the particular report was north or south of any particular latitude. Similarly, the monthly digest of ice conditions incorporates all significant ice information in all latitudes. Obstructions other than ice, such as drifting buoys, derelicts, etc., have not been included in the Table of Ice Reports since their significance therein is doubtful. The oceanographic section was prepared by Oceanographer Floyd M. Soule, Lt. P. S. Branson and Lt. (jg) R. P. Dinsmore. Lt. (jg) Sam Pisicchio, U. S. C. G., prepared the sections pertaining to the conduct of the International Ice Patrol. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
