Table 4. Dates of first significant ice for Upper (defined as 10% ice con-

centration at the Phillips Platform) and Lower Cook Inlet (undefined),

and corresponding freezing degree-days (FDDs) at Anchorage and Kenai,

respectively. Using the base value of 3.9C to calculate FDDs yielded

the best correlation for ice formation in the Upper Inlet. Extreme values

are in bold. (After Poole and Hufford 1982.)

Figure 10. Dates of significant ice formation at the Phillips Platform with

respect to freezing degree-days (assuming a base temperature of 3.9C).

Anchorage FDDs were used for the Upper Inlet, and Kenai data were used

for the Lower Inlet. (After Poole and Hufford 1982.)
