Sea ice production in the 2016 and 2017 Maud Rise polynyas
Sea ice production within polynyas, an outcome of the atmosphere‐ice‐ocean interaction, is
a major source of dense water and hence key to the global overturning circulation, but is …

Early winter triggering of the Maud Rise polynya
Abstract What triggers Maud Rise polynya, a large opening in the winter Antarctic sea ice, is
still debated. We show that the upcoming opening of all Maud Rise polynyas can be …
