This study reports the occurrence of intense atmospheric rivers (ARs) during the two large
Weddell Polynya events in November 1973 and September 2017 and investigates their role …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) that reach the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) transport anomalous
moisture from lower latitudes and can impact the AIS via extreme precipitation and …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) transport large amounts of moisture from the mid-to high-latitudes
and they are a primary driver of the most extreme snowfall events, along with surface …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are an important component of the hydrological cycle linking
moisture sources in lower latitudes to the Antarctic surface mass balance. We investigate AR …

Sea ice extent (SIE) in the Weddell Sea attained exceptionally low levels in April (1.97
million km2) and May (3.06 million km2) 2019, with the values being~ 22% below the long …

We investigate an intense snowfall event between 15 and 18 February 2011 over the East
Antarctic coastal region which contributed to roughly 24% of the annual snow accumulation …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) experienced a new extreme warm event and record-
high surface melt in February 2022, rivaling the recent temperature records from 2015 and …

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 …

Recent, heavy snow accumulation events over Dronning Maud Land (DML), East Antarctica,
contributed significantly to the Antarctic ice sheet surface mass balance (SMB). Here we …

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 …
