The zooplankton food web under East Antarctic pack ice – A stable isotope study Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2016 (Ref: 15759)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Understanding how sea ice serves zooplankton species during the food-limited season is crucial information to evaluate the potential responses of pelagic food webs to changes in sea-ice conditions in the Southern Ocean. Stable isotope analyses (13C/12C and 15N/14N)…

Sea ice extent, concentration, and duration [in "State of the Climate in 2015"] Bulletin of American Meteorological Society, 2016 (Ref: 17036)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Net sea ice areal extent was well above average during the first few months of 2015 (Fig. 6.8a). Monthly record extents were observed in January (7.46 × 106 km2), April (9.06 × 106 km2), and May (12.1 × 106 km2).

Estimating small-scale snow depth and ice thickness from total freeboard for East Antarctic sea ice Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2016 (Ref: 17051)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Deriving the snow depth on Antarctic sea ice is a key factor in estimating sea-ice thickness distributions from space or airborne altimeters. Using a linear regression to model snow depth from observed 'total freeboard'…

A review of recent changes in Southern Ocean sea ice, their drivers and forcings Global and Planetary Change, 2016 (Ref: 17052)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Over the past 37 years, satellite records show an increase in Antarctic sea ice cover that is most pronounced in the period of sea ice growth. This trend is dominated by increased sea ice coverage in the western Ross Sea, and is mitigated by a strong decrease in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen seas.

SIPEX 2012: Extreme sea-ice and atmospheric conditions off East Antarctica Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2016 (Ref: 17053)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In 2012, Antarctic sea-ice coverage was marked by weak annual-mean climate anomalies that consisted of opposing anomalies early and late in the year (some setting new records) which were interspersed by near-average conditions for most of the austral autumn and winter. Here…

Introduction: SIPEX-2: A study of sea-ice physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem processes off East Antarctica during spring 2012 Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2016 (Ref: 17054)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This editorial introduces a suite of articles resulting from the second Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems eXperiment (SIPEX-2) voyage by presenting some background information on the study area and Antarctic sea-ice conditions, and summarising the key findings from the project.

On the extraordinary snow on the sea ice off East Antarctica in late winter, 2012 Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2016 (Ref: 17055)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In late winter-early spring 2012, the second Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems Experiment (SIPEX II) was conducted off Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, onboard R/V Aurora Australis. The sea-ice conditions were characterized by significantly thick first-year ice and snow…

Chapter 3 Snow in the sea ice system: friend or foe? Sea Ice, Third Edition, 2016 (Ref: 16938)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Snow is a crucial and integral component of the sea ice system. It insulates the ice to retard the rate of thermodynamic ice thickening. At the same time, it contributes directly to sea-ice thickening through snow-ice formation…
