Global Freshwater Fluxes into the World Oceans (GRDC, 2014)

Abstract:
The GRDC re-calculated in 2014 the Global Freshwater Fluxes into the World Oceans based on results from the global hydrological model WaterGAP (Doell et al., 2003) for 0.5° grid cell resolution. The annual and long-term means of freshwater fluxes calculated for land areas associated with the UNEP GIWA Regions (UNEP, 2014) are displayed and as well freshwater fluxes from the 5° cells along the continent's coastlines. Freshwater fluxes calculated per 5° and 10° latitude bands show how much freshwater flows from a specific area into a specific ocean.
