Can uncertainties in sea ice albedo reconcile patterns of data-model discord for the Pliocene and 20th/21st centuries? [PDF]
, 2014 General Circulation Model simulations of the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) currently underestimate the level of warming that proxy data suggest existed at high latitudes, with discrepancies of up to 11°C for sea surface ...

Impacts of Observed Extreme Antarctic Sea Ice Conditions on the Southern Hemisphere Atmosphere
Atmosphere, 2022 The Antarctic sea ice has undergone dramatic changes in recent years, with the highest recorded sea ice extent in 2014 and the lowest in 2017. We investigated the impacts of the observed changes in these two extremes of Antarctic sea ice conditions on ...

Winter sea ice export from the Laptev Sea preconditions the local summer sea ice cover and fast ice decay [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Ice retreat in the eastern Eurasian Arctic is a consequence of atmospheric and oceanic processes and regional feedback mechanisms acting on the ice cover, both in winter and summer.

Extreme Conditions in the Bering Sea (2017–2018): Record‐Breaking Low Sea‐Ice Extent
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The lowest winter‐maximum areal sea‐ice coverage on record (1980–2019) in the Bering Sea occurred in the winter of 2017/2018. Sea ice arrived late due to warm southerly winds in November. More typical northerly winds (albeit warm) in December and January

Arctic Sea Ice Extent Plummets in 2007 [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008 Arctic sea ice declined rapidly to unprecedented low extents in the summer of 2007, raising concern that the Arctic may be on the verge of a fundamental transition toward a seasonal ice cover.Arctic sea ice extent typically attains a seasonal maximum in March and minimum in September.

A 120 000-year record of sea ice in the North Atlantic? [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2019 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
