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

periods ranging from weeks to decades, and regional phenomena like the warm water influx through the Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard are important aspects.” Gößling now hopes to more accurately

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
