Firstly, it [...] from the Fram Strait is finding its way under their ice tongues, melting them from below. We’re currently studying the 79° North Glacier to determine how this warm water travels from the Fram Strait to [...] the Fram Strait, which is roughly 300 km wide. It measures the temperature, flow speed and salinity of the inflowing and outflowing water masses, 365 days a year. “At the water’s surface, the Fram Strait’s

Meltwater influences ecosystems in the Arctic Ocean

In the summer months, sea ice from the Arctic drifts through Fram Strait into the Atlantic. Thanks to meltwater, a stable layer forms around the drifting ice atop the more salty seawater [...] as a team of researchers led by the Alfred Wegener Institute has now determined with the aid of the FRAM ocean observation system. Their findings have just been published in the journal Nature Communications
