Short summary
Atmospheric blocking near Antarctica drives long lasting circulation anomalies and extreme events, yet it remains poorly understood. We created a new public dataset for 1979 to 2024 using global reanalysis data and several detection methods applied in a consistent way. We found strong method dependent differences in how often, where, and how long blocking occurs, showing that no single approach captures all forms of Antarctic blocking.
