Quantifying climate feedbacks in polar regions
The concept of feedback is key in assessing whether a perturbation to a system is amplified
or damped by mechanisms internal to the system. In polar regions, climate dynamics are …

A review of recent changes in Southern Ocean sea ice, their drivers and forcings
Over the past 37 years, satellite records show an increase in Antarctic sea ice cover that is
most pronounced in the period of sea ice growth. This trend is dominated by increased sea …
