Cover Story: The Antarctic Dipole (AD) structure, resulting from the Pacific South American pattern triggered by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), leads to a reduction in sea ice over the Ross and Amundsen Sea in the Pacific sector and an increase over the Weddell Sea in the Atlantic sector during El Niño, with the opposite occurring during La Niña. In the initial two decades of the 21st century, there has been a notable weakening of the AD pattern compared to the late 20th century. This research provides evidence that the weakened AD pattern and the associated sea ice response are connected to a higher frequency of weaker and central Pacific-type ENSO events, on average, in the early 21st century compared to the late 20th century.
