Whatโ€™s happening to Arctic freshwater as the region warms? A new study used satellite data to reconstruct 20 years of water flowing from land into the Arctic Ocean, revealing a complex and uneven pattern rather than a straightforward trend toward a 'wetter' Arctic. www.esa.int/Applications...

Tracking Arctic freshwater flow from space

Arctic rivers and runoff from the land pour vast volumes of freshwater into the Arctic Ocean, influencing seawater salinity, sea-ice formation and ocean circulation, thereby playing an important role ...
