• Description:
  We present a new dataset of freshwater river input to the Bering Sea, spanning the years of 1950 to the present (2017). The dataset uses river discharge values measured at stream gauges throughout Alaska and Russia to reconstruct freshwater input to the Bering Sea. This dataset strives to capture the full seasonal variation in streamflow that is seen in this region, where the majority of a river’s streamflow occurs in the summer; this seasonal range in values is missing from many common river datasets used in global climate modeling.
