Recent changes to Arctic river discharge. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 AbstractArctic rivers drain ~15% of the global land surface and significantly influence local communities and economies, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and global climate. However, trusted and public knowledge of pan-Arctic rivers is inadequate, especially for small rivers and across Eurasia, inhibiting understanding of the Arctic response to ...

Determination of river design discharge (Tar River case study) [PDF]
Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2021 Rivers are usually exposed to floods that cause significant human and financial loss, for which structures are considered in the rivers for preventing floods and reducing damage. In this way, it is necessary to acquire design discharge for building these

Assessing river discharge dynamics through relative surface water extent changes in river basins [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Surface water in rivers is vital for human society. However, our current understanding of the dynamics and drivers of river flows relies predominantly on stream gauging data, which are limited in spatial coverage and involve significant costs ...

Increasing River Discharge to the Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Science, 2002 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.

Estimating river discharge from earth observation measurements of river surface hydraulic variables [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011 River discharge is a key variable for quantifying the water cycle, its fluxes and stocks at different scales. These scales range from a local scale for the efficient management of water resources to a global scale for the monitoring of climate change ...

Assimilation of transformed water surface elevation to improve river discharge estimation in a continental-scale river [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Quantifying continental-scale river discharge is essential for understanding the terrestrial water cycle, but it is susceptible to errors caused by a lack of observations and the limitations of hydrodynamic modeling.

Towards improving river discharge estimation in ungauged basins: calibration of rainfall-runoff models based on satellite observations of river flow width at basin outlet [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Rainfall-runoff models are common tools for river discharge estimation in the field of hydrology. In ungauged basins, the dependence on observed river discharge data for calibration restricts applications of rainfall-runoff models. The strong correlation

Accounting for dispersal and local habitat when evaluating tributary use by riverine fishes
Ecosphere, 2021 Conservation practitioners increasingly recognize the conservation value of tributaries for supporting mainstem, large‐river specialist fishes. A tributary’s discharge at its mouth is a coarse indicator of the richness of large‐river specialists found ...

Dominant discharge – an outline of theory and a case study from the Raba river [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Formatio Circumiectus, 2016 Designing hydraulic structures engineers has only theoretical flows, calculated using formulas based on statistics. Knowledge of the dominant discharge could help determine designers who are interested in changes of the morphology of river channels ...

Mapping the long‐term influence of river discharge on coastal ocean chlorophyll‐a
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Although the potential of river discharge to support ocean productivity and marine ecosystems is known, the specifics of this relationship are poorly understood in many regions of the world. Global estimates of river flow indicate that river discharge is
