FrostCast, a weather tool for ice growing on ships

Field notes

FrostCast describes a vessel-specific workflow rather than a general weather warning: users provide the ship, heading, wind, air temperature, and sea state, then receive accretion rates and a short-range prediction by zone. The page names the bow, superstructure, and bridge as separate reporting areas and proposes comparing headings before a course change. It also frames the output as an operational threshold for de-icing, slowing down, delaying departure, or remaining in port.
