Abstract

Increasing Eurasian Arctic river discharges and climate model projections show an increased wetting trend in northern high latitudes in coming years. Now a study finds that the increase in river discharge has accelerated in the past decade and that enhancement of poleward atmospheric moisture transport decisively contributes to this increase.
