ask for help about polar wrf sea ice

May I ask a question about polar wrf sea ice? I would like to conduct a sensitivity experiment on sea ice to test its impact on temperature. The simulation area is in Antarctica, and I tried to remove and retain sea ice in Vtable, as well as modify namelist. input. When there is sea ice, I set fractional seaice=1, and when there is no sea ice, I set fractional seaice=0. However, the 2-meter temperature data did not change, indicating that sea ice has no effect on temperature. This is unreasonable. May I ask if there is something wrong with my settings? I found that there is SEAICE in the wrfinput variables of both experiments. Do I need to delete one of the sea ice data and what should I do? Well, I request everyone's help
 
Have you looked at the seaice field in your runs? Is it same in these different tests? How about SST and TSK?
