Sea ice perturbations in aquaplanet simulations: Isolating the physical climate responses from model interventions ...
<!--!introduction!--> Comprehensive climate model simulations with perturbed sea ice covers have been extensively used to assess the impact of future sea ice loss, suggesting substantial climate changes both in the high latitudes and beyond. However, previous work using an idealized energy bal...
