The volume and freshwater transports through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) are assessed using the unstructured-mesh Finite-Element Sea-ice Ocean circulation Model (FESOM) in a global setup with the CAA resolved at the 5 km scale. The hindcast simulation realistically represents fluxes throug...
