V.N. Eremeev, A.E. Bukatov, M.V. Babiy, A.A. Bukatov

Climatic evolution research of sea ice closeness regional distribution in the Antarctic area of Southern ocean for the period 1969–2010 years is investigated. The spatial-temporary variability analysis of a geographical position of ice zone external border around Antarctica is carried out. The estimation of cross-correlation connection between ice edge latitude displacements and Wolf numbers is given.

Keywords: Antarctic sea ice, sea ice closeness, sea ice edge, ice edge dynamics.
