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, producing [...] 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 [...] 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 and allow for measurements between
