Has the ozone hole contributed to increased Antarctic sea ice extent

In a previous study we have shown, using single forcing time slice simulations with a coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice model, tha ...

The chemical equation can be seen below: CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O (water) H2CO3 (carbonic acid). The world’s oceans currently absorb as much as one-third of all CO2 emissions in our atmosphere.
