Over the modern satellite era, substantial climatic changes have been observed in the
Antarctic, including atmospheric and oceanic warming, ice sheet thinning and a general …

Abstract The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the leading mode of extratropical Southern
Hemisphere climate variability, associated with changes in the strength and position of the …

Abstract On 25 February 2022 Antarctic sea ice extent dropped to a satellite‐era record low
level of 1.92× 106 km2, 0.92× 106 km2 below the long‐term mean. The area of sea ice was …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

The spring season of 2022 saw record low sea ice extent in Antarctica that persisted
throughout the year. At the beginning of December, the Antarctic sea ice extent was tracking …

The Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is sensitive to short‐term extreme meteorological events that
can leave long‐term impacts on the continent's surface mass balance (SMB). We investigate …

Understanding the causes of recent climatic trends and variability in the high-latitude
Southern Hemisphere is hampered by a short instrumental record. Here, we analyse recent …

STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2015 Page 1 Special Supplement to the Bulletin of the American
Meteorological Society Vol. 97, No. 8, August 2016 STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2015 Brought …

Recent major melting events in West Antarctica have raised concerns about a potential
hydrofracturing and ice shelf instability. These events often share common forcings of …

Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …
