Although this increasing trend is modest, it is surprising given the overall warming of the global climate and the region. Indeed, climate models, which incorporate our best understanding of the processes affecting the region, generally simulate a decrease in sea ice. Moreover, sea ice in the Arctic has exhibited pronounced declines over the same period, consistent with global climate model simulations. For these reasons, the behavior of Antarctic sea ice has presented a conundrum for global climate change science. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in January 2016, to bring together scientists with different sets of expertise and perspectives to further explore potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent Antarctic sea ice variability and to discuss ways to advance understanding of Antarctic sea ice and its relationship to the broader ocean-climate system. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.Table of ContentsFront MatterAntarctic Sea Ice Variability in the Southern Ocean-Climate System: Proceedings of a WorkshopReferencesAppendix A: Statement of TaskAppendix B: Definitions of Key TermsAppendix C: Acronyms and AbbreviationsAppendix D: Workshop Agenda and ParticipantsAppendix E: Invited Speaker AbstractsAppendix F: Biographical Sketches of Planning Committee MembersCountry/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Science Nature & MathAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
