Original Note:
Open water in winter drives heat loss. Sea ice acts as insulation. Antarctica doesn’t lose much ice from melt, it’s pushed into the sea. Some sublimates. Lack of precipitation drives antarctic ice loss. Low sea ice may increase precipitation & continental ice growth. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/a-Thermal-insulation-potential-of-ocean-ice-b-climate-model-results-for-short-and-c_fig2_337720615 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology/article/mass-balance-of-the-antarctic-ice-sheet-19922016-reconciling-results-from-grace-gravimetry-with-icesat-ers12-and-envisat-altimetry/0A29BAA84961428700886DCCE201912F https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology/article/seasonal-cycle-of-sublimation-at-halley-antarctica/F660A45D9587DF34C7D6F9C66148FE6A https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1707633114
