Record #123325:

A recent sea-ice retreat west of the Antarctic Peninsula / S.S. Jacobs, Josefino C. Comiso.

Title: A recent sea-ice retreat west of the Antarctic Peninsula / S.S. Jacobs, Josefino C. Comiso.
Author(s): Jacobs, S. S.
Comiso, Josefino C.
Date: 1993.
In: Geophysical Research Letters. (1993.), Vol. 20(12) (1993)
Abstract: Satellite passive microwave data show record decrease in sea-ice extent in Bellingshausen Sea from mid-1988 to early 1991. Change coincides with more southerly surface winds, increasing cyclonic activity and rising surface air temperatures. Preceded by high ice cover in 1986-87, retreat was most evident during summer in formerly perennial sea-ice field over continental shelf. Ocean heat storage probably contributed to persistence and coastal propagation of this anomaly.
