Develop suitable observational and modeling frameworks to identify and quantify the causes
of sea ice variability and long - term decline.
Dammann, D. O., Bhatt, U. S., Langen, P. L., Kreiger, J. R. & Zhang, X. Impact of daily
Arctic sea ice variability in CAM3.0 during fall and winter.
We
model sea ice variability, assess the quality of sea ice drift and ice edge forecasts, and identify how to make improvements.

Sea sea ice variability to the midlatitude circulation in a simplified model.
Strong, C., and G. Magnusdottir, 2010: Modeled
winter sea ice variability and the North Atlantic Oscillation: a multi-century perspective.
In particular, my foci include modeling trends in the timing of transition seasons, such as spring, and evaluating the influences of Arctic amplification and
sea ice variability on midlatitude extreme weather events.
Rind, D., M. Chandler, J. Lerner, D.G. Martinson, and X. Yuan, 2001: Climate response to basin - specific changes in latitudinal temperature gradients and implications
for sea ice variability.
This publication summarizes presentations and discussions from a workshop that explored potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent
Antarctic sea ice variability.
For example we know that the major modes of climate variability such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) project strongly onto Antarctic
sea ice variability.

Liu, J.P., D.G. Martinson, X. Yuan, and D. Rind, 2002: Evaluating Antarctic
sea ice variability and its teleconnections in global climate models.
This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from an Academies workshop in which scientists with different sets of expertise and perspectives explored potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent Antarctic
sea ice variability and discussed ways to advance understanding.
