Slowdown of Antarctic Bottom Water export driven by climatic wind and sea ice changes

40% decline in the sea ice formation rate there. The ice production decrease is driven by northerly wind trends, partly in response to a negative polarity of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation since the early 1990s, with variability from the Amundsen Sea Low superposed. These results reveal key in...

Description
Summary:40% decline in the sea ice formation rate there. The ice production decrease is driven by northerly wind trends, partly in response to a negative polarity of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation since the early 1990s, with variability from the Amundsen Sea Low superposed. These results reveal key influences on the export of waters to the Atlantic abyss and their sensitivity to large-scale, multi-decadal climate variability.</strong
