Correlation between Arctic river discharge and sea ice formation in Laptev Sea using sea surface salinity from SMOS satellite
European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2020, 4-8 May 2020 During the last 3 decades, the Arctic rivers have increased their discharge around 10%, mainly due to the increase of the global atmospheric temperature. The increase of the river discharge carries higher loads of dissolved organic...
