Arctic Ocean
In the summer months, sea ice from the Arctic drifts through Fram Strait into the Atlantic. Thanks to meltwater, a stable layer forms around the drifting ice atop the more salty seawater [...] as a team of researchers led by the Alfred Wegener Institute has now determined with the aid of the FRAM ocean observation system. Their findings have just been published in the journal Nature Communications

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

observatory was established in the Fram Strait in 1998 to study long-term processes and diversity changes in the plankton and benthos. The Fram Strait essentially forms a connection between Arctic and Antlantic [...] integral component of the FRAM project in which a range of new technologies for sustained, (semi) autonomous observations will greatly extend the scope of ocean observations in the Fram Strait. This will facilitate [...] and has also been registered as an official LTER site.

Marine Pollution
Working in the Arctic Fram Strait, scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have found microplastic throughout the water column [...] explanation for this high level of pollution. According to their findings, the two main ocean currents in Fram Strait transport the microscopically small plastic particles into the region between Greenland and
