Freshwater Fluxes into the World's Oceans

The GRDC Freshwater Fluxes into the World’s Oceans is a web application provided by the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) to present the Freshwater Fluxes into the World’s Oceans data product. Continental freshwater input into the oceans is computed by the GRDC at irregular intervals, most recently in December 2020 referencing the time period 1901–2016. Previous data sets prepared in 2004, 2009 and 2014 are integrated into the service.

Lineage

This computation is based on the latest model output from the global hydrological model WaterGAP 2.2d of the Hydrology Group, University of Frankfurt (Müller Schmied et al. 2020). The WaterGAP model operates on the 0.5° x 0.5° CRU grid between 90°N and 60°S. A comprehensive overview on model structure and applications is given by Müller Schmied et al. (2021). --- Müller Schmied, Hannes, Denise Cáceres, Stephanie Eisner, Martina Flörke, Claudia Herbert, Christoph Niemann, Thedini Asali Peiris, et al. 2020. “The global water resources and use model WaterGAP v2.2d - Standard model output.” Data set.
