GRDC Freshwater Fluxes into the World's Oceans (Web Application)

The total freshwater input to the World's oceans between 90°N and 60°S is computed to 40181 km³/a. The values range between a minimum of 34573 km³/a (1993) and a maximum of 42947 km³/a (1949). The standard deviation is 1476 km³/a. The Mann-Kendall trend test does not show any significant monotonic trend over the entire period. Looking at subsections, a significant positive trend is found for the period 1901–1950 and a significant negative trend for the period 1951–2000.
