Thomas Rackow | Tido Semmler Follow ESM on Twitter @project_esm More information about this project FRAM FRontiers in Arctic marine Monitoring Our ability to understand the complex interactions of biological [...] and interdisciplinary observation infrastructures. The main purpose of the open-ocean infrastructure FRAM is permanent presence at sea, from surface to depth, for the provision of near real-time data on Earth [...] system dynamics, climate variability and ecosystem change. The Climate Dynamics section supports the FRAM infrastructure program with high-resolution ocean and sea-ice simulations. Vibe Schourup-Kristensen
