Abstract: In the last several years, Antarctic sea ice has rapidly changed, with especially anomalous behavior throughout the year 2023. Some scientists are suggesting that these changes may hint at a new Antarctic sea ice state that is more strongly governed by oceanic, rather than atmospheric, processes. Yet, Antarctic sea ice observations are one of the shortest observational measurements on Earth, making it challenging to understand these changes in context. This talk will present updated work on seasonal Antarctic sea ice variations through comparing different reconstructions with observations, as well as tests to understand the robustness of the Antarctic sea ice extent reconstruction procedure based on midlatitude station observations.
