AbstractSea ice in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica is intricately linked to ecosystems and the global climate, and it appears to be on the brink of rapid change. Recent unexpected decreases in Antarctic sea ice have been partly attributed to ocean heat release, which may be influenced by variations in freshwater input, turbulent ocean mixing, and internal system feedbacks. Studying how these factors modulate the growth and melt of sea ice has been challenging due to the remoteness of the Southern O
