Variations in annual accumulated snowfall over the Antarctic ice sheet have a significant and direct impact on mean sea-level change. The interannual variability of the precipitation over coastal Antarctica adjacent to the southern Indian Ocean (SIO) cannot be totally explained by the dominant mode...
