2 Is Recent Sea Ice Expansion in the Southern Ocean Anthropogenic?
Though Arctic sea ice extent has been declining, sea ice in the Southern Ocean has experienced modest expansion since the 1970s. This weak positive trend results from sea ice growth in the western Ross Sea (WRS) that slightly exceeds shrinkage near the western Antarctic Peninsula and in the southern...

Though Arctic sea ice extent has been declining, sea ice in the Southern Ocean has experienced modest expansion since the 1970s. This weak positive trend results from sea ice growth in the western Ross Sea (WRS) that slightly exceeds shrinkage near the western Antarctic Peninsula and in the southern Bellingshausen Sea. While the shrinkage near the western Antarctic Peninsula and in the southern Bellingshausen Sea is consistent with rapid warming in West Antarctica, the growth in the WRS appears contradictory in light of the warming, albeit small, over nearby Northern Victoria Land.
