the Arctic, that would be e.g. transport of ice or water through Fram Strait. AWI has collected long time series of measurements across the Fram which can be used for model validation. A thorough discussion

Fresh water from the Arctic strengthens the [...] airbornesea ice thickness measurements. Oceanographic moorings in Fram Strait provide estimates of liquid fresh water transport. Once validated, the models can be used for numerical experiments that reveal

Working in the Arctic Fram Strait, scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have found microplastic [...] . According to their findings, the two main ocean currents in Fram Strait transport the microscopically small plastic particles into the region between Greenland and Spitsbergen from both the Arctic

Fresh water from the Arctic strengthens the [...] carries water and sea ice from the Siberian Shelves to exit at the Fram Strait, and the Beaufort Gyre, a large clockwise rotating gyre in the Canadian Basin (Fig 1). This circulation system is fed by [...] finally the export of sea ice and relatively fresh water through Fram Strait depend on these sea ice properties.
