Sources of low-frequency variability in observed Antarctic sea ice

DB Bonan, J Dörr, RCJ Wills, AF Thompson, M Årthun - 2023 - par.nsf.gov
Antarctic sea ice gradually increased from the late 1970s until 2016, when it experienced an
abrupt decline. A number of mechanisms have been proposed for both the gradual increase …

Minimum warming in the South Indian Ocean thermocline in a warming climate linked to freshening processes
