International Ice Patrol - 1948. Combined air and surface operations and the affective use of radar and loran by Coast patrol units contributed to the success of the 1948 International Ice Patrol. It was the mission of 1948 patrol to locate and report ice conditions constituting a menace to navigation, to determine set and drift of icebergs, to collect weather information and surface and sub-surface oceanographics data, and to keep all interested parties and commercial shipping informed thereof. The importance to mariners of “ice broadcasts” is evidenced by the fact that practically all commercial radio transmission ceases during these broadcasts. The International Ice Patrol along the steamer lanes of the North Atlantic is conducted by the United States Coast Guard. Coast Guard cutters and planes designed to the patrol are based at Argentina, Newfoundland. A Coast Guard converted B-17 on ice patrol duty flies over a large berg. It is estimated that a three-year time lapse occurs between the “calving” of an iceberg from Western Greenland glaciers and its appearance in the vicinity of the Grand Banks.
