    Alfred-Wegener-Institut) If we can realistically simulate the past and present processes at work in the Fram Strait, we can then calculate projections for the future. I work with FESOM, the Finite Element Sea [...] ocean currents, hydrography and sea ice. I’m currently using FESOM to simulate the circulation in the Fram Strait, which is located between Greenland and Svalbard and represents one of the most important
