TL;DR: In response to a growing interest in the Arctic in recent years, the number of real-time short-medium range sea ice prediction systems has been increasing, and now includes several systems covering the full Arctic Ocean, for example: the Arctic Cap Nowcast/Forecast System (ACNFS; Posey et al., 2010), Towards an Operational Prediction system for the North Atlantic European coastal Zones (TOPAZ; Bertino and Lisaeter, 2008), and the Canadian Centre for Marine and Environmental Prediction’s Global Ice Ocean Prediction System (GIOPS; Smith et

TL;DR: Antarctic sea ice in 2012 was characterized by generally above-average area and extent throughout the year, compared to the 1981-2010 mean, with the exception of late May through early June and late November through much of December.

TL;DR: The 2008 was a year of exceptional seasonal variability in Antarctic sea ice coverage, characterized by three distinct phases of overall sea-ice extent anomalies: well above average (January-April inclusive and December), moderately above average, and average to slightly below average (July-November), but with substantial regional variability that reflects patterns of atmospheric circulation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the role of sea ice in the global climate system and showed that sea ice plays a crucial role in global climate systems and is highly sensitive to climate change and variability (Walsh 1983; Liu et al. 2002; Roach et al 2020).

TL;DR: This paper reviewed Australian climate patterns and associated anomalies during 2016, with reference to relevant climate drivers for the Australian region, and concluded that 2016 was the fourth warmest year on record for Australia (annual anomaly of +0.87 °C).
