Understanding and
evaluating sea ice feedbacks is complicated by the strong coupling to polar cloud processes and ocean heat and freshwater transport.
Not exact matches
Lead - lag relationships involving regional
sea ice and air temperature are systematically
evaluated, with an eye toward the
ice - temperature
feedbacks that may influence climatic change.
While we have not
evaluated all of the
feedback mechanisms and internal and external forcing factors involved, we have shown evidence that the West Antarctic warming is consistent with the regional decline of
sea ice in the ABS and with the atmospheric circulation trends over the Southern Oceans.
