Abstract
Being much thinner than Arctic sea ice and almost entirely seasonal, Antarctic sea ice has
long been considered unpredictable beyond weather time scales. However, recent
studies have unveiled several mechanisms of sea-ice predictability at seasonal time scales
(Holland et al., 2017; Marchi et al., 2018; Holland et al., 2013). The study of sea-ice
predictability does not only represent an academic exercise but has also many potential
future applications. For example, knowledge of sea-ice presence from weeks to months in
advance would be of great interest, since sea ice is one of the many hindrances that face
vessels operating in the Antarctic coastal regions. In that context, advance notice of
seasonal sea-ice conditions would help reduce costs associated with providing alternative
operational logistics.
