The relative role of the subsurface Southern Ocean in driving negative Antarctic Sea ice extent anomalies in 2016–2021
Warming of the subsurface Southern Ocean played only a minor role in shrinking Antarctic Sea ice extent in 2016, but was critical for the persistence of negative anomalies between 2016 and 2021, according to coupled climate model simulations partially constrained by observations.
