Decline in plankton diversity and carbon flux with reduced sea ice extent along the Western Antarctic Peninsula. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Since the middle of the past century, the Western Antarctic Peninsula has warmed rapidly with a significant loss of sea ice but the impacts on plankton biodiversity and carbon cycling remain an open question.

Sea Ice Extent Prediction with Machine Learning Methods and Subregional Analysis in the Arctic
Atmosphere, 2023 The decline of sea ice in the Arctic region is a critical indicator of rapid global warming and can also influence the feedback processes in the Arctic, so the prediction of sea ice extent and thickness plays an important role in climate modeling and ...

The potential of sea ice leads as a predictor for summer Arctic sea ice extent [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The Arctic sea ice extent throughout the melt season is closely associated with initial sea ice state in winter and spring. Sea ice leads are important sites of energy fluxes in the Arctic Ocean, which may play an important role in the evolution of ...

Variability and trends in sea ice extent and ice production in the Ross Sea [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011 Salt release during sea ice formation in the Ross Sea coastal regions is regarded as a primary forcing for the regional generation of Antarctic Bottom Water. Passive microwave data from November 1978 through 2008 are used to examine the detailed seasonal and interannual characteristics of the sea ice cover of the Ross Sea and the adjacent ...

Sea Ice Extent Detection in the Bohai Sea Using Sentinel-3 OLCI Data
Remote Sensing, 2019 Sea ice distribution is an important indicator of ice conditions and regional climate change in the Bohai Sea (China). In this study, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution of the Bohai Sea ice in the winter of 2017−2018 by developing sea ice

Large-scale drivers of the exceptionally low winter Antarctic sea ice extent in 2023
Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe year 2023 marked a turning point for the Antarctic region as the Southern Hemisphere experienced a significant reduction in its sea ice extent, with a record-breaking sea ice minimum in July 2023 of approximately 2.4 million square kilometers below ...

Drivers of summer Arctic sea-ice extent at interannual time scale in CMIP6 large ensembles revealed by information flow [PDF]
Scientific ReportsArctic sea-ice extent has strongly decreased since the beginning of satellite observations in the late 1970s. While several drivers are known to be implicated, their respective contribution is not fully understood.

A Decade of QuikSCAT Scatterometer Sea Ice Extent Data [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2014 Polar sea ice is an important input to global climate models and is considered to be a sensitive indicator of climate change. While originally designed only for wind estimation, radar backscatter measurements collected by wind scatterometers have proven useful for estimating the extent of sea ice.
