            <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco">Ice maps produced for the prevention of flooding by ice jams and the monitoring of river ice during spring floods, winter temperatures or even during problems with ice jams.

The maps are derived from radar satellite images, therefore available regardless of cloud cover, from several different sources, using algorithms to classify pixels into types of ice cover. Data is only processed and displayed on the main rivers at risk.

The date the image was taken and the approximate region covered by the data is shown in the layer name. Data is added several times a week, but the frequency of revisits to each river can vary between 2 days and 2 weeks. 

The satellites and algorithms used according to the periods are summarized in this list:

* __Image prefix__: period covered; source satellite; resolution of maps produced; algorithm used 
* __R2__: 2018 - 2022; Radarsat 2; 7m; ICEMAP-r
* __RCM__: 2024 - now; Radarsat Constellation Mission; 5m; ICEMAP-r version 2024 
* __S1__: 2018 - now; Sentinel 1; 12.5m; Arctus proprietary algorithm
 
The different classes in the legend make it possible to differentiate the following types of ice:

* __Water (dark blue) __: open water

* __Water/Smooth Ice (blue) __: combination of water on ice, or spaced frasil rafts

* __Smooth ice (cyan) __: or black ice, the exact term for this type of ice is “columnar ice”, due to the vertical and elongated shape of the crystals that compose it. Black ice is generally transparent because it contains few or no air bubbles. It is formed by cooling, in fairly calm water, which is why it is sometimes called “thermal ice”. Its surface is very smooth.

* __Consolidated ice (light pink) __: includes Frasil ice or snow ice. Frasil ice forms in turbulent and very cold water. Composed of fine rounded crystals. These grains accumulate and rise to the surface to form moving ice rafts. These rafts end up close enough to freeze together (agglomerated ice). It contains a lot of air bubbles. Its surface is slightly to moderately rough. 

* __Consolidated ice with clusters (dark pink) __: ice cover formed by the stacking and freezing of various forms of moving ice; blocks that are superimposed or pieces of ice that are detached in one place and that are piled up in another. Moderately rough to very rough surface.

The images from Radarsat-2 and RCM are obtained through a partnership between Public Safety Canada and the MSP. 

The ICEMAP-R algorithm developed by INRS makes it possible to identify the type of ice according to the internal roughness of the ice (presence of air bubbles) and the roughness of the surface of the ice cover (presence of blocks and accumulations). The initial version was usable for Radarsat 2. The 2022 and 2023 RCM ice maps are given as an indication (new algorithm in progress), only data since 2024 are processed with the Icemap-R algorithm adapted to RCM.

Since 2018, the MSP has also used images from Sentinel-1, a radar satellite from the European Space Agency with a resolution of 10 m, resampled to 12.5m for ice maps. The images are then processed by the firm Arctus, which uses a proprietary algorithm.

The output of the various algorithms has been reclassified to obtain a comparable legend. Historical data may have presented an alternative classification. Until 2022, the legend varied between winter and thaw. 


The web service also contains visible satellite images from Landsat satellites (the image prefixes are then L8, L9) or Sentinel 2 (prefix S2). In this case, colored compounds (false colors to benefit from infrared bands in particular) are used to best visualize the presence of ice. From 2024, the colored compound S2 used is as follows:

* Red: 8A band (Near Infrared - VNIR) 20m (resampled to 10m)
* Green: band 3 (Green) 10m 
* Blue: band 2 (Blue) 10m

Les cartes sont dérivées d’images satellitaires radar, donc disponibles quelque soit la couverture nuageuse, provenant de plusieurs sources différentes, en utilisant des algorithmes pour classer les pixels en type de couvert de glace. Les données ne sont traitées et affichées que sur les principales rivières à risque.

La date de prise de vue et la région approximative couverte par les données est indiquée dans le nom de la couche. Les données sont ajoutées plusieurs fois par semaine, mais la fréquence de revisite de chaque rivière peut varier entre 2j et 2 semaines. 

Les satellites et algorithmes utilisés selon les périodes sont résumés dans cette liste:

* __Préfixe des images__ : période couverte ; satellite source; résolution des cartes produites ; algorithme utilisé 
* __R2__ : 2018 - 2022 ; Radarsat 2 ; 7m ; IceMap-R
* __RCM__ : 2024 - maintenant ; Radarsat Constellation Mission ; 5m ; IceMap-R version 2024 
* __S1__ : 2018 - maintenant; Sentinel 1 ; 12.5m ; algorithme propriétaire Arctus
 
Les différentes classes de la légende permettent de différencier les types de glace suivants :

* __Eau (bleu foncé)__ : eau libre

* __Eau / Glace lisse (bleu)__ : combinaison d’eau sur glace, ou de radeaux de frasil espacés

* __Glace lisse (cyan)__ : ou glace noire, le terme exact de ce type de glace est « glace columnaire », en raison de la forme verticale et allongée des cristaux qui la compose. La glace noire est une glace généralement transparente puisqu’elle ne contient que peu ou pas de bulles d’air. Elle se forme par refroidissement, en eau plutôt calme, d’où son appellation parfois de « glace thermique ». Sa surface est très lisse.

* __Glace consolidée (rose pâle)__ : elle comprend la glace de frasil ou la glace de neige. La glace de frasil se forme en eau turbulente et très froide. Composée de fins cristaux arrondis. Ces grains s’accumulent et remontent à la surface pour former des radeaux de glace en mouvement. Ces radeaux finissent par être suffisamment rapprochés pour geler ensemble (glace agglomérée). Contient beaucoup de bulles d’air. Sa surface est légèrement à moyennement rugueuse. 

* __Glace consolidée avec amoncellements (rose foncé)__: couvert de glace formé par l’empilement et le gel de diverses formes de glace en mouvement. blocs qui se superposent ou des morceaux de glace détachés à un endroit et qui s’empilent à un autre. Surface moyennement rugueuse à très rugueuse.

Les images de Radarsat-2 et RCM sont obtenues grâce à un partenariat entre Sécurité publique Canada et le MSP. 

L'algorithme IceMap-R développé par l'INRS permet d'identifier le type de glace en fonction de la rugosité interne de la glace (présence de bulles d'air) et de la rugosité de la surface du couvert de glace (présence de blocs et d'amoncellement). La version initale était utilisable pour Radarsat 2. Les cartes de glace RCM 2022 et 2023 sont données à titre idicatif (nouvel algorithme en rodage), seules les données depuis 2024 sont traitées avec l'algorithme Icemap-R adapté à RCM.

Depuis 2018, le MSP utilise également les images de Sentinel-1, un satellite radar de l'Agence spatiale européenne dont la résolution est de 10 m, rééchantillonné à 12,5m pour les cartes de glace. Les images sont ensuite traitées par la firme Arctus qui utilise un algorithme propriétaire.

La sortie des différents algorithmes a été reclassée pour obtenir une légende comparable. Il est possible que des données historiques aient présenté une autre classification. Jusqu'en 2022, la légende variait entre l'hiver et le dégel. 


Le service web contient également des images satellitaires visibles issues des satellites Landsat (les préfixes des images sont alors L8, L9) ou Sentinel 2 (préfixe S2). Dans ce cas des composées colorés (fausses couleurs pour bénéficier des bandes infrarouges notamment) sont utilisés pour visualiser au mieux la présence de glace. À partir de 2024, le composé coloré S2 utilisé est le suivant :

* Rouge : bande 8A (Proche Infrarouge - VNIR) 20m (rééchantillonnée à 10m)
* Vert : bande 3 (Vert) 10m 
* Bleu : bande 2 (Bleu) 10m</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
