Increasing river discharge to the Arctic Ocean
Synthesis of river-monitoring data reveals that the average annual discharge of fresh water from the six largest Eurasian rivers to the Arctic Ocean increased by 7 % from 1936 to 1999. The average annual rate of increase was 2.0 0.7 cubic kilometers per year. Consequently, average annual discharge f...
