a–n, Cumulative sea ice production from June to August in each year of 2000–2013 over the Terra Nova Bay. The years are arranged in the order of increasing austral-winter SAM index, which is labeled in the upper left corner of each panel. o Time series of cumulative sea ice production over winter and the winter SAM index. Shading indicates the time period when a significant correlation between the variations of sea ice production and SAM is detected.
