Interpretation of recent trends in Antarctic sea ice concentration
We investigate seasonal trends in sea ice concentration and the relative contributions of the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), the Pacific-South American two modes (PSA1 and PSA2), and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The summer range of the trend in the Antarctic sea ice is the largest, from -8...
