All this cold water being released into the ocean has a significant impact on the formation of sea ice, resulting in higher rates of
sea ice concentration around Antarctica.
How
sea ice concentrations around Antarctica differed from average during November 2016.
She and her co-author, Harry Stern, principal mathematician at the PSC, used 35 years of satellite data to examine
sea ice concentrations around the entire Arctic.
Not exact matches
Changes in the winds
around Antarctica therefore change
ice -
concentration trends
around Antarctica [8] by influencing
sea -
ice production and melt rates [9].
John — your premise is incorrect; Arctic
sea -
ice is not a
concentration of mass, and when it melts it doesn't redistribute
around the globe (other of course than in the same way any other Arctic seawater redistributes).
Southern Ocean:
Sea Ice Concentration and
Sea Surface Temperature Recently there has been a discussion about the link between SST and SIC in the Southern Ocean
around Antarctica.
Whereas the mid-LIG summer
sea ice concentrations were still around 60 to 75 % in the central Arctic Ocean, but only around 20 % or less along the Atlantic - Water influenced Barents Sea continental margin, nearly ice - free conditions might be reached in the entire Arctic Ocean in 23

---- Doddridge and Marshall, 2017 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2017GL074319/abstract 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.
