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 ...

Surface roughness signatures of summer arctic snow-covered sea ice in X-band dual-polarimetric SAR
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2020 Surface roughness of sea ice is primary information for understanding sea ice dynamics and air–ice–ocean interactions. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a powerful tool for investigating sea ice surface roughness owing to the high sensitivity of its ...
