Surface processes currently dominate Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) mass loss. We review
recent developments in the observation and modeling of GrIS surface mass balance (SMB) …

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 …

The Antarctic ice sheet mass balance is a major component of the sea level budget and
results from the difference of two fluxes of a similar magnitude: ice flow discharging in the …

Climate reanalyses provide key information to calibrate proxy records in regions with scarce
direct observations. The climate reanalysis used to perform a proxy calibration should …

We compare the performance of five different regional climate models (RCMs)(COSMO-CLM
2, HIRHAM5, MAR3. 10, MetUM, and RACMO2. 3p2), forced by ERA-Interim reanalysis, in …

Here we present Antarctic snow accumulation variability at the regional scale over the past
1000 years. A total of 79 ice core snow accumulation records were gathered and assigned …

Climate trends in the Antarctic region remain poorly characterized, owing to the brevity and
scarcity of direct climate observations and the large magnitude of interannual to decadal …

STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2019 Page 1 Special Supplement to the Bullefin of the American
Meteorological Society Vol. 101, No. 8, August 2020 STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2019 …

We review recent literature on atmospheric, surface ocean and sea-ice observations and
modeling results in the Antarctic sector and relate the observed climatic trends with the …

Here, we define weather regimes in the East Antarctica—Southern Ocean sector based on
daily anomalies of 700 hPa geopotential height derived from ERA5 reanalysis during 1979 …
