The 2016 Abrupt Antarctic Sea Ice Decline: a re-evaluation with new perspectives Journal of Climate, 2025
(Ref: 17426)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature
An unprecedented decline in Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) in late 2016 ended a weak mutidecadal expansion. Multiple mechanisms have been hypothesized to explain this decline, including large-scale atmospheric influences—a strong zonal wave 3 (ZW3)…
Combined Impacts of Southern Annular Mode and Zonal Wave 3 on Antarctic Sea Ice Variability. Journal of Climate, 2024
(Ref: 17093)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature
Large-scale modes of atmospheric variability in the southern midlatitudes can influence Antarctic sea ice concentrations (SIC) via diverse processes. For instance, variability in both the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and zonal wave 3 (ZW3) have been linked to the abrupt 2015/16 sea ice decline.
