Antarctic sea ice is experiencing a weak overall increase in area that is the residual of
opposing regional trends. This study considers their seasonal pattern. In addition to …

Signatures of ocean eddies, fronts, and filaments are commonly observed within marginal
ice zones (MIZs) from satellite images of sea ice concentration, and in situ observations via …

A theory is developed in a stochastic climate model for understanding the general features
of the seasonal predictability barrier (PB), which is characterized by a band of maximum …

The contrast in surface albedo between sea ice and open ocean suggests the possibility of
an unstable climate state flanked by two separate stable climate states. Previous studies …

Earth's orbit and axial tilt imprint a strong seasonal cycle on climatological data. Climate
variability is typically viewed in terms of fluctuations in the seasonal cycle induced by higher …

We examine the long-term correlations and multi-fractal properties of daily satellite retrievals
of Arctic sea ice albedo and extent, for periods of approximately 23 years and 32 years …

Uncovering universal early warning signals for critical transitions has become a coveted
goal in diverse scientific disciplines, ranging from climate science to financial mathematics …

A controlling factor in the seasonal and climatological evolution of the sea ice cover is its
albedo α. Here we analyze Arctic data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer …

We examine the relationship between the mean and the variability of Arctic sea-ice
coverage and volume in a large range of climates from globally ice-covered to globally ice …
