Fig2.1.4.8-2: Example of sea temperatures and sea ice fraction openchartsshown by Opencharts.  Sea ice fraction (cyan hues, %) is shown where ice coverage is greater than 50% but but most of the marginal ice zone (15%-50%) is not plotted.  This gives the impression that there is no sea ice outside this area.  However, patchy ice and bergs are likely in the surrounding waters.Ice in smaller discontinuous patches or as bergs can occur elsewhere mainly in purple coloured areas but particularly where sea temperatures are sub-zero.  Current sea temperatures and ice cover chart on Opencharts.
