Abstract
To determine volume and heat transports through Fram Strait, an array of current meter moorings was maintained in the Strait between 1997 and 2001, with annual redeployments. The transports obtained by averaging the monthly means from the first 2 years were 9.5 Sv to the north and 11.1 Sv to the south (ISv = 106m3s-1). The net transport over the 2 years was 4.2 Sv to the south, taking into account that there is some recirculation from the eastern to the western side of the transect which has a meridional offset of 10 nmi. The northward transport consists of about 50% of Atlantic Water, of which about 65% recirculates north of the transect. The northward heat flow, 85% of which is by Atlantic Water, is 16TW (1997/1998) and 41TW (1998/1999).
