Short summary
Winds around the Antarctic coast have global importance. With influences from competing drivers, their structure is complex so it is hard to understand how they will change in the future. We develop a simple measure that identifies key features in the coastal winds, including their northern extent. Using climate models, we analyse future projections of this boundary and find that it will shift polewards, shrinking the Antarctic coastal wind region.
