The different moorings and instruments of AWI's FRAM mooring array in West Spitsbergen Current [...] icebreakers or airplanes. AWI has strongly contributed to this effort by developing and maintaining the FRAM and MIDO infrastructure. We also use a large number of moorings which are anchored to the sea floor

Occurrence of blue and fin whales in the Arctic

The long-term analysis of blue whale and fin whale vocalisations in the eastern Fram Strait offers valuable insights into seasonal and annual patterns regarding these species’ occurrence in the region
