Assessing the effect of year-to-year runoff variations in siberian rivers on circulation in the arctic ocean

The propagation of freshwater anomalies from Siberian rivers in the Arctic Ocean in the 21st century has been simulated using a model developed in Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics, Russian Academy of Sciences (ICMMG RAS), based on the output of the ICM RAS model and scenario RPC 8.5, project CMIP-5 IPCC. River runoff has been calculated using a linear reservoir model with 1/3-degree resolution, including nine major drainage basins in Siberia.
