Fresh water from [...] satellite remote sensing and regional airborne sea ice thickness measurements. Oceanographic moorings in Fram Strait provide estimates of liquid fresh water transport. Once validated, the models can be used for [...] by the Transpolar Drift, which carries water and sea ice from the Siberian Shelves to exit at the Fram Strait, and the Beaufort Gyre, a large clockwise rotating gyre in the Canadian Basin (Fig 1).
