Antarctic Sea Ice: Physical Processes, Interactions and Variability
As sea ice formation plays a key role in driving Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) production through brine rejection and the associated production of High Salinity freezing point Shelf Water 0tSSW), a possible link between interannual variability of the ice cover and changes in AABW production is expected. Analysis of satellite data indicates that the summer minimum extents (and area) in the Wedde...
متن کاملSnow on Antarctic Sea Ice
Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a complex and highly variable role in air-sea-ice interaction processes and the Earth’s climate system. Using data collected mostly during the past 10 years, this paper reviews the following topics: snow thickness and snow type and their geographical and seasonal variations; snow grain size, density, and salinity; frequency of occurrence of slush; thermal conduct...

متن کاملInterpretation of recent Antarctic sea ice variability
[1] Trends in the satellite-derived Antarctic sea ice concentrations (1979–2002) show pronounced increase (decrease) in the central Pacific sector (Bellingshausen/ western Weddell sector) by 4–10% per decade. Confidence levels for these regional trends exceed 95%. Positive polarities of the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) lead to more (less) ice in the eastern Ross/Amundsen sector (Bellingshausen/n...
متن کاملSeasonal change of antarctic sea ice cover.
The winter expansion of the sea ice surrounding Antarctica and the subsequent retreat of the ice in summer may be linked with the wind stress acting on the Southern Ocean in conjunction with the heat exchange in open water regions within the ice fields.
