Following up on two companion papers printed in the Journal of Climate last week, this presentation by lead author Dr. Jonathan Wille decodes the record-busting March 2022 East Antarctica heat wave, including its impact on the Antarctic ice sheet. This extreme heat event saw numerous March temperature records broken, with unprecedented coastal rain and melting during winter, and temperatures 30°–40°C above average in many regions of East Antarctica. The two papers brought together five dozen researchers from fourteen countries to share data and expertise across several disciplines.
