Variability and trends in sea ice extent and ice production in the Ross Sea [PDF]
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 ...

The impact of a seasonally ice free Arctic Ocean on the temperature, precipitation and surface mass balance of Svalbard [PDF]
The observed decline in summer sea ice extent since the 1970s is predicted to continue until the Arctic Ocean is seasonally ice free during the 21st Century. This will lead to a much perturbed Arctic climate with large changes in ocean surface energy flux.

Anomalous peak in Antarctic sea-ice area, winter 1998, coincident with ENSO [PDF]
The results of an updated satellite analysis of hemispheric and regional Antarctic sea-ice cover are presented based on October 1987-September I999 Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data.

Sea Ice Extent Detection in the Bohai Sea Using Sentinel-3 OLCI Data
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

The northern sector of the last British ice sheet : maximum extent and demise [PDF]
Strongly divided opinion has led to competing, apparently contradictory, views on the timing, extent, flow configuration and decay mechanism of the last British Ice Sheet.

Sea ice dynamics across the Mid-Pleistocene transition in the Bering Sea. [PDF]
Sea ice and associated feedback mechanisms play an important role for both long- and short-term climate change. Our ability to predict future sea ice extent, however, hinges on a greater understanding of past sea ice dynamics. Here we investigate sea ice

A 120 000-year record of sea ice in the North Atlantic? [PDF]
Although it has been demonstrated that the speed and magnitude of the recent Arctic sea ice decline is unprecedented for the past 1450 years, few records are available to provide a paleoclimate context for Arctic sea ice extent. Bromine enrichment in ice

Faster Arctic sea ice retreat in CMIP5 than in CMIP3 due to volcanoes [PDF]
The downward trend in Arctic sea ice extent is one of the most dramatic signals of climate change during recent decades. Comprehensive climate models have struggled to reproduce this, typically simulating a slower rate of sea ice retreat than has been ...

Impact of melt ponds on Arctic sea ice simulations from 1990 to 2007 [PDF]
The extent and thickness of the Arctic sea ice cover has decreased dramatically in the past few decades with minima in sea ice extent in September 2007 and 2011 and climate models did not predict this decline.
