Short summary

Coastal ice domes in West Antarctica preserve snowfall records that reflect past climate conditions. Using weather reanalysis from 1979 to 2022, this study identifies which domes best capture different climate drivers affecting the region. Western sites respond mainly to hemisphere-wide wind shifts, while eastern sites reflect regional storm patterns. These results guide where future ice cores should be drilled to reconstruct past atmospheric and oceanic changes in this vulnerable region.
