4. Selecting the Floe Decisions at home Drift path criteria
Now: Plans with 84-85°N / °E
In 2019: Refining based on actual ice conditions
Drift path criteria
Survival for 1 year
Lowest risk to Greenland and Beaufort Gyre
Lowest risk into Russian EEZ
Best position for supply and airborne campaign
At the starting position
Origin and history of the floe: one year old from Laptev Sea
Distance to open water
Surrounding ice conditions (Distributed Network)
Ice thickness distribution (re-supply)
