摘要: A critical, but insufficiently understood, component of global change is the influence Arctic freshwater input on water mass exchange between Ocean and Atlantic Pacific Oceans. Four Earth's 10 largest river systems, Mackenzie, Ob,Yenisei, Lena, contribute to shore (Figure 1) from a vast watershed that drains continental interiors. This discharge flows into world's contiguous shelf supplies over 50% (1823 km3 ) riverine Ocean.
