An Assessment of the Antarctic Sea Ice Mass Budget Simulation in CMIP6 Historical Experiment [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The sea ice formation and dissipation processes are complicated and involve many factors and mechanisms, from the basal growth/melting, the frazil ice formation, the snow ice processes to the dynamic process, etc. The contribution of different factors to

Virus-Host Interactions and Genetic Diversity of Antarctic Sea Ice Bacteriophages [PDF]
mBio, 2022 Although we know the generally appreciated significant roles of microbes in sea ice and polar waters, detailed studies of virus-host systems from such environments have been so far limited by only a few available isolates.

Variety and Distribution of Diatom-Based Sea Ice Proxies in Antarctic Marine Sediments of the Past 2000 Years [PDF]
Geosciences, 2022 Antarctic sea ice is an essential component of the global climate system. Reconstructions of Antarctic sea ice from marine sediment cores are a vital resource to improve the representation of Antarctic sea ice in climate models and to better understand ...

The key role of the Southern Annular Mode during the sea-ice maximum for Antarctic sea ice and its recent loss [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentAntarctic sea ice exhibits considerable interannual variability and has experienced unprecedented decline over the past decade. Here we provide observational insights into the role of the Southern Annular Mode in driving such variations in Antarctic sea ...

Antarctic sea ice multidecadal variability triggered by Southern Annular Mode and deep convection
Communications Earth & EnvironmentAntarctic sea ice exerts great influence on Earth’s climate by controlling the exchange of heat, momentum, freshwater, and gases between the atmosphere and ocean.

An evaluation of Antarctic sea-ice thickness from the Global Ice-Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System based on in situ and satellite observations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Antarctic sea ice is an important component of the Earth system. However, its role in the Earth system is still unclear due to limited Antarctic sea-ice thickness (SIT) data. A reliable sea-ice reanalysis can be useful to study Antarctic SIT and its role

Estimating summer sea ice extent in the Weddell Sea during the early 19th century [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Over the past 3 decades, discordant trends in sea ice extent have been observed between the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Arctic sea ice extent has been characterised by a rapid decline, whereas Antarctic sea ice extent, while highly variable ...

Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Recent observations indicate that two cryospheric components, namely the Antarctic sea ice and ice shelf over the Southern Ocean, have been changing over the decades. Here we analyze results from an ocean–sea ice–ice shelf model to examine variability in

Mid-Holocene Antarctic sea-ice increase driven by marine ice sheet retreat [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 Over recent decades Antarctic sea-ice extent has increased, alongside widespread ice shelf thinning and freshening of waters along the Antarctic margin. In contrast, Earth system models generally simulate a decrease in sea ice.
