This paper investigates the interannual variability of January sea surface temperature (SST) in the Amundsen Sea (AS) during the period 1982–2022. SST in the Pine Island Bay (PIB) is found to exhibit the most significant interannual variation, with a standard deviation up to 0.6°. Composite analysis...
