Abstract
A preliminary investigation of the feasibility of and methods for the design, construction and maintenance of airdromes on ice was conducted by the Soils Laboratory of the New England Division during the 1946- 1947 fiscal year. The phenomena of formation and melting of ice were reviewed. A few of the pertinent characteristics of snow were examined. Data on locations and characteristics of possible airdrome sites in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic were compiled, and maps were prepared. (Author)
