Dwindling Antarctic sea ice driving more storms, study warns

The loss of Antarctic sea ice has led to increased heat loss from the ocean to the atmosphere, and an associated rise in storms.

A study published in the journal Nature suggests that the record decline in Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has contributed to an increase in the frequency of storms over the ice-free southern oceans, according to AFP. Researchers warn that this phenomenon, the result of heat transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere, could have profound effects on the global climate, Agerpres reports.

Un studiu publicat în revista Nature sugerează că scăderea record a banchizei antarctice în 2023 a contribuit la creșterea frecvenței furtunilor deasupra oceanelor sudice fără gheață, conform AFP. Cercetătorii avertizează că acest fenomen, rezultatul transferului de căldură din ocean spre atmosferă, ar putea avea efecte profunde asupra climatului global, transmite Agerpres.

Melting Antarctic ice leads to increased storms in southern ocean regions, with possible effects on global climate

Antarctic ice sheets melted rapidly 20 million years ago due to orbital changes. Researchers warn modern emissions could trigger similar instability, urging climate action. Geoscientists led by the University of Leicester and the University of Southampton have discovered periods of sudden melting in the Antarctic ice sheet in a new climate record from over 20 [...]

Antarctica’s Irregular Heartbeat: Scientists Uncover Dangerous Signs of Rapid Melting

Recent Antarctic sea-ice decline is a substantial source of concern, notably the record low in 2023 (ref. 1). Progress has been made towards establishing the causes of ice loss1–5 but uncertainty remains about its consequences for ocean–atmosphere interaction. Resolution of this uncertainty is important as ice decline can substantially alter surface heat loss and thus the ocean and atmosphere6. Here we show that the strongest winter 2023 ice-ret…

More Storms Are Brewing In Antarctica Amid Unprecedented Sea Ice Loss

PARIS — The record-breaking retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has led to more frequent storms over newly exposed parts of the Southern Ocean, according to a study published on Wednesday. Scientists know that the loss of Antarctic sea ice can diminish penguin numbers, cause ice shelves to melt in warmer waters, and impede the Southern Ocean from absorbing carbon dioxide.
