Modeling freezing and BioGeoChemical processes in Antarctic sea ice
Abstract The Antarctic sea ice, which undergoes annual freezing and melting, plays a significant role in the global climate cycle. Since satellite observations in the Antarctic region began, 2023 saw a historically unprecedented decrease in the extent of sea ice. Further ocean warming and future env...

Abstract The Antarctic sea ice, which undergoes annual freezing and melting, plays a significant role in the global climate cycle.
