TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data collected during the past ten years, and review major findings such as differences in regional and seasonal snow properties and thicknesses; the unique consequences of snow on Antarctic pack ice relative to the Arctic (e.g. the importance of flooding and snow-ice formation); the potential impact if global change increases snowfall; lower observed values of snow thermal conductivity than those used in models; periodic large-scale melt in winter; and the contrast in summer melt in the Antarctic and Arctic.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a snow cover on sea ice accretion and ablation is estimated based on the zero-layer version sea ice model of Semtner, and is examined using a coupled atmosphere-sea ice model including feedbacks and ice dynamics effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic-thermodynamic sea ice model is developed and coupled with the Melbourne University general circulation model to simulate the seasonal cycle of the Antarctic sea ice distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the long-term behavior of the thermohaline circulation (THC) in the CSIRO climate model, under a scenario of transient increase of atmospheric (equivalent) CO2 concentration followed by a perpetual stabilisation at triple the initial level (3 × CO2).

TL;DR: The transient and long-term adjustment process of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in response to global warming in the CSIRO climate model is examined in an integration, which is run under increasing atmospheric CO2 following the IPCC/IS92a scenario to stabilisation at triple the initial CO2 concentration (3 × CO2).
