Has the ozone hole contributed to increased Antarctic sea ice extent
... It has been suggested that the increase of Southern Hemisphere sea ice extent since the 1970s can be explained by ozone depletion in the Southern Hemisphere stratosphere. In a previous study we have shown, using single forcing time slice simulations with a coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice model, tha ...
