Seasonal and interannual variabilities of sea-ice area in the Southern Ocean were examined using daily sea-ice concentration and ice velocity products for 2003–2019, derived from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) and AMSR2 data. This study quantified the contributions to change...
