Modulation of the Seasonal Cycle of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Related to the Southern Annular Mode

Through analysis of remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice concentration data, we investigate the impact of winds related to the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) on sea ice extent around Antarctica. We show that positive SAM anomalies in the austral summer are associated with anomalous...
