Short summary
Observed trends of Antarctic sea ice are not reproduced by global climate models. We examine observed and simulated interactions between sea ice and large-scale atmospheric variability, showing that global climate models generally capture observed interactions during the season of sea ice advance, but not during sea ice retreat. Most models overestimate the zonally symmetric influence of the dominant atmospheric mode on sea ice, while the importance of tropical variability is underestimated.
