Appendix A : Assumed ice conditions for the segments outside the NSR
Assumption of the environmental data from Yokohama to Bering Strait
(1) The segments between Y-03 and Y-05 are assumed as ice free area throughout the year.
(2) In the segments from Y-01 to Y-03 (shadowed in Table A. 1), the environmental data are assumed as shown in Table A. 2, Each value is extrapolated using the segment data prior to Y-01.
Assumption of the environmental data in Barents Sea (N-route)
(1) The segments between B1-01 and B5-03 are assumed as ice free area throughout the year.
(2) In the segments from B5-03 to B1-02, the environmental data are assumed as shown in Table A.4. bythe same technique using in Table A.2
