The Paper will discuss lessons learned from more than 10 years of operational weather and ice support in the Arctic, and show examples of best practice methods of implementing scientific research into operational decision making. Successful examples will be discussed detailing the use of weather and ice information in operational situations at high latitudes, from climatic prestudies to the operational phases and all the way through post-operational lessons learned.
