To investigate the pathways of settling aggregates in ice-covered and ice-free regions in Fram Strait, we used a Lagrangian particle tracking algorithm and computed backward particle trajectories. Particles were advected with daily averaged model velocities from the ocean-sea ice model FESOM. The co...
