SIGRID-3 : a vector archive format for sea ice georeferenced information and data. Version 3.0.
This document describes Version 3.0 of SIGRID-3 (Sea Ice GeoReferenced Information and Data), an evolution of the SIGRID series of standards for coding, exchange and archiving of digital ice charts.
Version 3.0 retains the essential structure of its predecessor and is backwards compatible with earlier
versions of SIGRID-3. The important extension of Version 3 is to incorporate the features, attributes
and encoding of the Ice Objects Catalogue for Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs). The purpose of
this extension is to facilitate the automatic translation of digital ice charts into S-57 and S-10x ENC
formats.

Handbook of offshore forecasting services. Revision 2003. [ incomplete record, no document attached]
This handbook is a product of the Offshore Weather Panel, which includes representatives from the offshore petroleum industry and from forecasting agencies situated around the North Sea. The Offshore Panel was established through a joint initiative by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP), and marine forecasting centres and agencies. Through a dialogue between service providers and users, the Panel developed the first Handbook of Weather Forecasting WMO/TD-N0 850 (1998). This revision of the Handbook, completed in April 2003, reflects the increased importance of quality assurance within weather forecasting services. The revision outlines a new range of services derived from recent technological and scientific advances. Further, in response to feedback from the offshore industry, a chapter has been added on weather services for Helicopter Operations. It is intended to incorporate the revision into a more formal update of the WMO/TD-NO850, within the next couple of years.

https://repository.oceanbestpractices.org/handle/11329/99
Ice Chart Colour Code Standard, Version 1.0, 2014.
This document describes two separate colour codes for use on ice charts: the first one based on total concentration (CT) intended for use when the stage of development is relatively uniform but concentration is highly variable (e.g. arctic summer navigation) and the second one based on stage of development (SoD) intended for use when the concentration is relatively uniform (high) but the stage of development is variable (e.g. arctic winter navigation). Document is an integral part and extension of the WMO Sea Ice Nomenclature, Supplement No. 4 (WMO-No. 259) currently in force.
