Why Antarctica's Sea Ice Reversal After 2016 Has Scientists Looking Below the Surface
Key Takeaways
- 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.
