A recent sea-ice retreat west of the Antarctic Peninsula
Satellite passive microwave data show a record decrease in sea ice extent in the Bellingshausen Sea from mid-1988 through early 1991. The change coincides with more southerly surface winds, increased cyclonic activity and rising surface air temperatures, which reached historic highs along the west c...
