freshwater. Major pathways of the export are the East Greenland Current and sea ice flux through Fram Strait. Inflow of saline water from the South is equivalent to a fresh water export. Fresh water from [...] satellite remote sensing and regional airbornesea ice thickness measurements. Oceanographic moorings in Fram Strait provide estimates of liquid fresh water transport. Once validated, the models can be used for

Barents Sea or Fram Strait. In the eastern Fram Strait, Atlantic Water flows northward in the West Spitsbergen Current between the surface and about 800m depth. Some of this water makes a shortcut and recirculates [...] the western Fram Strait on timescales of several months while the rest enters the Arctic Ocean and follows a cyclonic circulation for years to decades. The AWI long-term observations in Fram Strait have [...] Fram Strait / West Spitsbergen current long-term observations Atlantic Water is the main oceanic source of heat, salt, and nutrients of the Arctic Ocean. It enters the Arctic Ocean through the Barents
pulse of the Atlantic current system in the Fram Strait, the region between Svalbard and the northeast coast of Greenland. “There are three reasons why the Fram Strait is so important to us. Firstly, it [...] from the Fram Strait is finding its way under their ice tongues, melting them from below. We’re currently studying the 79° North Glacier to determine how this warm water travels from the Fram Strait to [...] the Fram Strait, which is roughly 300 km wide. It measures the temperature, flow speed and salinity of the inflowing and outflowing water masses, 365 days a year. “At the water’s surface, the Fram Strait’s
importance for the global ocean circulation the Fram Strait has long since been a focus area of AWI scientists.
