Antarctic Sea Ice: 1972-1975 [PDF]

open access: possibleGeographical Review, 1979
rT HE areal extent and variability of sea ice is one of the most important of the numerous components that interact to produce global climatic patterns, even for areas far removed from the polar zones. Sea ice in the south-polar region exhibits significant seasonal and interannual variations that from a practical viewpoint are important for Antarctic ...

Seasonal Change of Antarctic Sea Ice Cover [PDF]

open access: possibleScience, 1975
The winter expansion of the sea ice surrounding Antarctica and the subsequent retreat of the ice in summer may be linked with the wind stress acting on the Southern Ocean in conjunction with the heat exchange in open water regions within the ice fields.

Mechanical Properties of Antarctic Sea Ice

Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1988
Abstract Ice samples were extracted from a land-fast ice sheet of 90 cm thickness at Lutzow-Holm Bay in the Antarctica. The ice samples were then shipped to a cold room in Tokyo, and unconfined uniaxial compression tests and fracture toughness tests were performed for a wide range of loading rate under temperature varying from −5°C to ...

Tropical Teleconnections to Antarctic Sea Ice During Austral Spring 2016 in Coupled Pacemaker Experiments

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Following a multidecade increase, Antarctic sea ice declined drastically during austral spring 2016. Suggested causes of the sea ice decline include lingering effects of the 2015/2016 extreme El Niño and a tropical Indian Ocean teleconnection to high ...

The Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice

2018
This chapter covered Arctic and Antarctic climate. It discussed Arctic warming and focused on various related areas including Arctic Sea ice – last few years and recent decline. Recent behaviour of Antarctic Sea ice was also addressed.

Acoustic reflectivity of Antarctic sea ice

'Challenges of Our Changing Global Environment'. Conference Proceedings. OCEANS '95 MTS/IEEE, 2002
An Upward Looking Sonar (ULS) operating at 300 kHz has been built and deployed off the Antarctic coast during 1994 as part of the Australian climate related sea ice research program. The ULS was moored 150 m below the surface in water of 3 km depth and returned data spanning 11 months.

The Arctic's sea ice cover: trends, variability, predictability, and comparisons to the Antarctic

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2018
As assessed over the period of satellite observations, October 1978 to present, there are downward linear trends in Arctic sea ice extent for all months, largest at the end of the melt season in September. The ice cover is also thinning.

The Antarctic Sea Ice Cover

1994
The sea ice cover in the Antarctic is one of the most climatically important features of the Southern Hemisphere. Its seasonal variation in extent is from 4 million km2 in summer (February) to 20 million km2 in winter (September) (Zwally et al. 1983).

Ciliates from Antarctic sea ice

Polar Biology, 2000
Five ciliates, Chlamydonella prostomata nov. sp., Paractedoctema acruosa nov. gen., nov. sp., Urocyclon ovatum nov. gen., nov. sp., Porpostoma grassei (Corliss and Snyder 1986) and Cytharoides balechi Tuffrau 1974, collected from sea ice in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica were morphologically and taxonomically investigated.
