The Arctic sea ice cover of 2016: a year of record-low highs and higher-than-expected lows [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The Arctic sea ice cover of 2016 was highly noteworthy, as it featured record low monthly sea ice extents at the start of the year but a summer (September) extent that was higher than expected by most seasonal forecasts.

Reconstructing Antarctic winter sea-ice extent during Marine Isotope Stage 5e [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2022 Environmental conditions during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e (130–116 ka) represent an important “process analogue” for understanding the climatic responses to present and future anthropogenic warming. The response of Antarctic sea ice to global warming

Sea-ice extent and its trend provide limited metrics of model performance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 We examine how the evaluation of modelled sea-ice coverage against reality is affected by uncertainties in the retrieval of sea-ice coverage from satellite, by the usage of sea-ice extent to overcome these uncertainties, and by internal variability.

The early twentieth century warming and winter Arctic sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 The Arctic has featured the strongest surface warming over the globe during the recent decades, and the temperature increase has been accompanied by a rapid decline in sea ice extent.

Sea ice index monitors polar ice extent [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2004 In September 2002, Arctic sea ice extent reached a minimum unprecedented in 24 years of satellite passive microwave observations, and almost certainly unmatched in 50 years of charting Arctic ice [Serreze et al., 2003]. Again, in September 2003, ice retreated to an unusually low extent, almost equaling the previous year's minimum (Figure l).

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 ...

Assessment of Sea Ice Extent in CMIP6 With Comparison to Observations and CMIP5
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extents (SIEs) from 44 coupled models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) are evaluated by comparing them with observations and CMIP5 results.

Assessing trend and variation of Arctic sea-ice extent during 1979–2012 from a latitude perspective of ice edge [PDF]
Polar Research, 2014 Arctic sea-ice extent (in summer) has been shrinking since the 1970s. However, we have little knowledge of the detailed spatial variability of this shrinking.

Improving the spatial distribution of modeled Arctic sea ice thickness [PDF]
, 2005 The spatial distribution of ice thickness/draft in the Arctic Ocean is examined using a sea ice model. A comparison of model predictions with submarine observations of sea ice draft made during cruises between 1987 and 1997 reveals that the model has the
