Airspeed influence the icing too. In general, the faster the speed, the more ice accumulation. However, this is counteracted by airframe surface friction at higher airspeed, and as a result, structural icing is minimal when speed is above 575 kn (1,065 km/h; 662 mph). Additionally, the design of the aircraft will also influence the icing. [5]

These factors can each influence the safety of marine transit. Consequently, a variety of codes have been established to efficiently transmit detailed marine weather forecasts to vessel pilots via radio, for example the MAFOR (marine forecast). [104] Typical weather forecasts can be received at sea through the use of RTTY, Navtex and Radiofax.
