英文摘要 | In contrast to decreased Arctic sea ice extent, Antarctic sea ice extent shows a somewhat increased trend. There is a large interannual variability of Antarctic sea ice, especially in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. The change and variability of Antarctic sea ice in synoptic timescales in the recent decades remain unclear. We identify synoptic modes of variability of Antarctic summer sea ice by applying the Self Organizing Map (SOM) technique to daily sea ice concentration data for the period 1979–2018. Nearly 40% of the variability is characterized by opposite changes between sea ice cover in the Bellingshausen, Amundsen and western Ross Seas and in the rest of the Antarctic seas, and another 30% by meridional asymmetry in the Weddell, Amundsen, and Ross Seas. Most of these spatial patterns may be explained by the dynamics and thermodynamic processes associated with anomalous atmospheric circulations related to the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) with a structure of strong zonal asymmetry. The interannual variability of the sea ice modes appears to have little connection to SAM, and only a weak relation to ENSO. The annual frequencies of SOM node occurrences also show a great decadal variability. Node 9 appears mainly prior to 1990; while node 1 occurs mainly after 1990. The decadal variability of nodes 1 and 9 is associated with the asymmetrical SAM, which results from two wavetrains excited over northern Australia and the southeastern Indian Ocean. These results further highlight the importance of understanding the role of southern mid-to-high latitude atmospheric intrinsic variability in predicting Antarctic summer sea ice variations from synoptic to decadal timescales. © 2021 The Authors |
