the major flux gates such as the Fram Strait , requires a closer look at the origin of the ice leaving the Arctic Ocean. It is assumed that a substantial part of the Fram Strait export is formed in the Siberian [...] Siberian shelf seas, connected with Fram Strait via the Transpolar Drift. Among the Siberian shelf seas the Laptev Sea is considered one of the most significant regions of net ice production and export

determines the sea ice volume flux in Fram Strait region and other key areas. Results are used to quantify whether coupled sea ice ocean models are capable of reproducing Fram Strait sea ice volume fluxes correctly [...] of Arctic sea ice are changes of ice volume export rates through major gates of the Arctic, such as Fram Strait. The Sea Ice Physics group investigates to what extent ice volume loss through major export

thesis, I have been examining the question of how this warm Atlantic water is transported from the Fram Strait to the 79°North Glacier. But no data have so far been available for the area crucial for me [...] has yet made it to this point During the first five weeks of our Polarstern trip when we work in the Fram Strait we are spellbound as we see the satellite image and observe how every day big cracks develop

The main goal of our arctic research [...] a 100 m water column, is stated for analysis between 1991 and 2013, during summer months. While in FRAM strait and on the arctic shelves, a relatively high proportion of biomass was being observed, the
