International Ice Patrol (IIP) Iceberg Sightings Database, Version 1

The International Ice Patrol (IIP) has been collecting information on iceberg activity in the North Atlantic since 1913. This database contains the data from these sightings from 1960 through most current processing. The IIP data files include latitude and longitude of sighted icebergs, coded iceberg size and shape class, and date and time of the sighting. The IIP area of responsibility is 40° N to 65° N and 39° W to 57° W. Note, the IIP area of responsibility prior to 2006 was 40° N to 52° N and 39° W to 57° W. Data are in space-delimited ASCII text files and are available via FTP.国际冰情巡逻队（International Ice Patrol, IIP）自1913年起便持续在北大西洋海域开展冰山活动相关信息的收集工作。本数据库收录了1960年至今经最新处理的全部观测数据。IIP的数据集包含观测到的冰山的纬度与经度、经编码的冰山尺寸与形状分类等级，以及观测的日期与时间。IIP的责任海区范围为北纬40°至65°、西经39°至57°。需注意，2006年之前IIP的责任海区范围为北纬40°至52°、西经39°至57°。本数据集采用空格分隔的美国信息交换标准代码（ASCII）文本文件格式存储，可通过文件传输协议（FTP）获取。
