Antarctic shelf ocean warming and sea ice melt affected by projected El Niño changes
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 20 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01610-x
How the shelf ocean around Antarctica changes with warming is not well known. Here, the authors show that a projected increase in El Niño–Southern Oscillation variability accelerates warming of the Antarctic shelf ocean but slows warming around the sea ice edges, thus influencing ice melt.
