1500-2100 A.D. forcing impacts on the water balance in polar regions
Despite the scientifically consistent picture of climate change, a comprehensive understanding of the hydrological cycle, which is of fundamental importance for the climate system, is still missing – especially in polar regions (White et al., 2007). Within this cycle, river freshwater discharge into...
