Abstract
This report was prepared to aid in measuring and documenting the properties of decayed ice. Outlined is a procedure by which to measure the confined compressive strength of sea ice with a borehole jack. Also included are instructions pertaining to measurements of ice thickness, temperature, salinity, freeboard and snow depth. The report was prepared as part of a joint research project between Canadian Ice Service and Canadian Hydraulics Centre, whereby the properties of Arctic sea ice were measured in late spring and early summer 2000.
