The area of the Southern Ocean covered by sea ice is relatively well described by a longterm time series of satellite observations spanning over 35 years. Throughout the seasonal cycle, Antarctic sea-ice cover varies between approximately 3 x 10‚ÄövÖ‚àÇ km¬¨‚⧠at the end of summer to approximately...

The area of the Southern Ocean covered by sea ice is relatively well described by a longterm time series of satellite observations spanning over 35 years. Throughout the seasonal cycle, Antarctic sea-ice cover varies between approximately 3 x 10‚ÄövÖ‚àÇ km¬¨‚⧠at the end of summer to approximately 20 x 10‚ÄövÖ‚àÇ km¬¨‚⧠during winter. This has profound implications for ocean-atmosphere heat and momentum exchange and also for global oceanic circulation induced by sea-ice production and melt. However, the thickness distribution of Antarctic sea-ice is poorly described.
