Estimating evaporation using stable isotopes: quantitative results and sensitivity analysis for two catchrnents in northern Canada. Nordic Hydrology 24: 79
The stable isotope-mass balance method can provide useful water balance information in ungauged catchments. The method has been used to evaluate evaporation and water balance at two contrasting sites in northern Canada. Areally weighted evaporative discharge from an 850 km2 tundra catchment in south...
