varying resolutions, are not well understood. Emerging research suggests a complex interplay between the Fram Strait Sea Ice Export (FSSIE) and the AMO, pointing to a critical, yet underexplored, feedback mechanism

Fram Strait

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

Central Arctic

ships, e.g. Polarstern and air-supported spring expeditions, autonomous ice-tethered buoy systems like FRAM or MIDO have enabled a nearly year-round, Arctic basin-wide coverage of temperature and salinity profile

Long-term observations in the Arctic Ocean

@ awi.de Fram Strait / West Spitsbergen Atlantic Water is the main oceanic source of heat, salt, and nutrients of the Arctic Ocean. It enters the Arctic Ocean through the Barents Sea or Fram Strait. In [...] systems in addition to icebreaker-based surveys. Our focus areas are the boundary current from the Fram Strait to the Siberian Arctic and the upper Arctic basin. There is a strong link between the variability [...] (2015)Circulation and transformation of Atlantic water in the Eurasian Basin and the contribution of the Fram Strait inflow branch to the Arctic Ocean heat budget ,Progress in Oceanography, 132 , pp. 128-152

Observing systems

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
