Sea Ice In Antarctica Was Expanding Until 2016. Then Everything Changed. - CleanTechnica

Why Antarctica's Sea Ice Reversal After 2016 Has Scientists Looking Below the Surface

A new PNAS study uses nearly two decades of under-ice Argo float data to explain Antarctica’s sea ice reversal.
Surface freshening from precipitation helped sea ice expand by trapping warmer water below.
After 2015, stronger wind-driven upwelling brought stored heat upward and contributed to sharp sea ice loss.
