Results are used to quantify whether coupled sea ice ocean models are capable of reproducing Fram Strait sea ice volume fluxes correctly [...] of Arctic sea ice are changes of ice volume export rates through major gates of the Arctic, such as Fram Strait. The Sea Ice Physics group investigates to what extent ice volume loss through major export
