River fluxes

River fluxes

Air-sea fluxes of riverine carbon from Lacroix et al. (2020) have been scaled to match the mean global value of 0.65 PgC/yr. This scaling value is from Regnier et al. (2022).

We have integrated the fluxes over the basin level and provide these in the netCDF file.
We do not reccomend that the river flux adjustment is used at a sub-biome level.
