DESIDE Structure Icing Indicator

The DESIDE Structure Icing indicator assesses the risks to the structures, such as ships, due to atmospheric icing from freezing sea spray. The rate of ice build-up due to super-cooled sea spray freezing on contact with surfaces is a function of the air and sea surface temperatures, the wind speed, and the saltwater freezing point.
