It was interesting to observe that the boundary layer [...] boundary layer in a region of roughly 120 km times 30 km over a still sea ice covered part of the Fram Strait. The flight was very successful, the data look promising. Wed, 21 June A visit on RV Polarstern [...] very lucky in this regard. We suppose that one reason for the large sea ice cover in the Northern Fram Strait during the entire campaign was the prevailing northerly winds. Collocation with Polarstern
