Seasonal and interannual variation in the lipid content and composition of Euphausia superba Dana, 1850 (Euphausiacea) samples derived from the Scotia Sea fishery Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2018 (Ref: 17170)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superbaDana, 1850) is an important trophic link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels. Knowledge of the lipid biochemistry of krill assists in understanding their seasonal biology and predicting their responses to ecological changes.

Sea ice extent, concentration, and seasonality [In: State of the Climate in 2017] Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2018 (Ref: 17037)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctic sea ice performs important roles in the climate system through the formation of dense oxygen rich Antarctic Bottom Water (Johnson 2008) and modulating fluxes across the ocean/atmosphere interface within the high southern latitudes (Bourassa et al. 2013).

Snow in the changing sea-ice systems Nature Climate Change, 2018 (Ref: 17041)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Snow is the most reflective, and also the most insulative, natural material on Earth. Consequently, it is an integral part of the sea-ice and climate systems. However, the spatial and temporal heterogeneities of snow pose challenges for observing…

Drivers of Antarctic Sea Ice Volume Change in CMIP5 Models Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018 (Ref: 17042)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctic sea ice trends have to date been linked to surface winds, through sea ice motion and atmospheric thermal advection. This paper analyzes sea ice volume in 10 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) model configurations under pre-industrial and historical climate forcings…

Return of the Maud Rise Polynya: Climate litmus or sea ice anomaly? [In: State of the Climate in 2017] Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2018 (Ref: 17043)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Maud Rise polynya is a persistent area of open water within the sea ice cover of the Southern Ocean, which overlies an area of elevated topography called Maud Rise (66°S, 3°E) located in the eastern sector of the Weddell Sea (Fig. SB6.1a).

An ocean-sea ice model study of the unprecedented Antarctic sea ice minimum in 2016 Environmental Research Letters, 2018 (Ref: 17044)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Overall Antarctic sea ice extent in the 2016 spring attained a record minimum for the satellite period (1979–2016), presenting an abrupt departure from the record maxima in previous years and the slight upward trend since 1979.

Estimation of Antarctic Land-Fast Sea Ice Algal Biomass and Snow Thickness From Under-Ice Radiance Spectra in Two Contrasting Areas Journal of Geophysical Research – Oceans, 2018 (Ref: 17045)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Fast ice is an important component of Antarctic coastal marine ecosystems, providing a prolific habitat for ice algal communities. This work examines the relationships between normalized difference indices (NDI)…
