Article Synopsis
- Arctic sea-ice extent has significantly decreased since satellite observations began in the late 1970s, with several drivers affecting this change but their contributions are not fully understood.
- Using the Liang-Kleeman information flow method on CMIP6 models from 1970 to 2060, the study investigates the impact of winter sea-ice volume, air temperature, and ocean heat transport on summer sea-ice extent.
- Findings reveal that air temperature is the primary driver of summer sea-ice changes, with winter sea-ice volume and Atlantic Ocean heat transport being secondary, while radiative influences are also important, particularly longwave radiation.
