Winds and Meltwater Together Lead to Southern Ocean Surface Cooling and Sea Ice Expansion

Abstract Southern Ocean surface cooling and Antarctic sea ice expansion from 1979 through 2015 have been linked both to changing atmospheric circulation and melting of Antarctica's grounded ice and ice shelves. However, climate models have largely been unable to reproduce this behavior. Here we...
