Pilots Guide to River Ice by the National Weather Service.

http://aprfc.arh.noaa.gov/resources/rivwatch/rwp_handbook.pdf

It has photos of the ice features and definitions you may find helpful.

Useful terms to describe the ice size are sheets, pans, chunks.  Other
features are ice runs (continuous length of moving ice) & ice jams
(note page 5 describing ice jams).

GPS coordinates and a description in your field book would be helpful.
 Measurements of ice dimensions w/ a tape measure would also be
helpful.  Other things to note  are anchor or bottom fast ice and
shore ice.  When does it all disappear from the channel, particularly
at the gauging reach?
