q 2000 American Meteorological Society Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Variability and Its Global Connectivity*
This study statistically evaluates the relationship between Antarctic sea ice extent and global climate variability. Temporal cross correlations between detrended Antarctic sea ice edge (SIE) anomaly and various climate indices are calculated. For the sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern equ...

This study statistically evaluates the relationship between Antarctic sea ice extent and global climate variability.
