Description / Table of Contents:
Advances in technology and improvements in logistics have made possible an increased level of research into the geophysics of Antarctic sea ice. The authors present the results of current field, remote sensing, and modeling studies of sea ice in different regions of the Southern Ocean and provide an overview of the nature of Antarctic sea ice, its role in atmospheric and oceanographic processes, and its impact on the global environment. This compilation, together with a companion volume on sea ice biology and ecology, reveals the widening scope of current sea ice research in Antarctica.
