Hello,

NSIDC would like to request the following be added as a GCMD keyword under EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE:

Keyword: FAST ICE
Definition: Ice that is anchored to the shore or ocean bottom, typically over shallow ocean shelves at continental margins. Fast ice does not move with the winds or currents. Also known as landfast ice.
Reference: https://nsidc.org/learn/cryosphere-glossary

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Theresa
