Ice sheet melting key to sea level rise - Antarctic - Brief ArticleDescribes the ice sheet melting pattern in Antarctica thousands of years ago. Estimated increase in the Earth's sea level following the melting in the Antarctica; Information on the global meltwater pulse 1A; Other melting ...
Antarctic shelf ocean warming affects melt of ice shelf/sheets and sea ice but projected changes vary vastly across climate models. A projected increase in El Niño variability has been found to slow future mid-latitude Southern Ocean warming but how t
A variety of hypotheses, involving sub-ice-shelf melting, stratospheric ozone depletion and tropical teleconnections, have been proposed to explain the observed Antarctic sea-ice expansion over the period of continuous satellite monitoring and corresponding model–observation discrepancy, but the issue remai...

Siegert added that if the event had happened during the Antarctic summer, instead of winter, it would have caused melting on the surface of the East Antarctic ice sheet, which has so far been saved from melting. 西格特补充说,如果这一事件发生在南极的夏季,而不是冬季,它将会导致南极东部冰盖表...
New research has shown that ocean heat is likely playing an important role in slowing cold season ice growth and enhancing warm season melting. This record-low extent so far in 2023 is a continuation of a downward trend in Antarctic sea ice that started after a...
Now human activity is acting as a force of nature, propelling what has been a very stable sea level during all of modern human civilization back into overdrive. "The problem is that the melting ice and rising sea tends to follow an exponential path," said Englander. "That would change or...
BERLIN, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Within this century, ice melting in the Antarctic alone could cause the global sea level to rise up to three times as much as it did in the entire last century, the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research (PIK) announced on Friday. ...
(Fig.4a). Part of this upwelled water flows to the south and transforms into the densest water of the World Ocean, Antarctic Bottom Water, while the other part flows northward, where it mixes with freshwater from sea-ice melting and interacts with the atmosphere, and gradually subducts ...
