Arctic sea ice in CMIP6

D Notz, S Community - Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We examine CMIP6 simulations of Arctic sea‐ice area and volume. We find that CMIP6
models produce a wide spread of mean Arctic sea‐ice area, capturing the observational …

Record low 2022 Antarctic sea ice led to catastrophic breeding failure of emperor penguins

PT Fretwell, A Boutet, N Ratcliffe - Communications Earth & …, 2023 - nature.com
The spring season of 2022 saw record low sea ice extent in Antarctica that persisted

Antarctic bottom water and North Atlantic deep water in CMIP6 models

C Heuzé - Ocean Science Discussions, 2020 - os.copernicus.org
Deep water formation is the driver of the global ocean circulation, yet it was poorly
represented in the previous generation of climate models. We here quantify biases in …

A regime shift in seasonal total Antarctic sea ice extent in the twentieth century

RL Fogt, AM Sleinkofer, MN Raphael… - Nature Climate …, 2022 - nature.com
In stark contrast to the Arctic, there have been statistically significant positive trends in total
