Pacific sub-decadal sea surface temperature variations contributed to recent Antarctic Sea ice decline trend

Abstract Total sea ice extent (SIE) across the Southern Ocean increased from 1979-2014, but declined rapidly after 2016. Significant sea ice decline has emerged since the peak of SIE in 2014, coincident with Pacific sub-decadal sea surface temperature (SST) trends resembling a strong La Niña-like co...
