One of the most important components of the water budget in any ocean is the river inflow, which significantly affects the physical, chemical and biological processes of the ocean. River inflow is of special importance in the Arctic Ocean (Table 1) because although the Arctic Ocean contains only 1.0% of the world ocean water, it receives 11% of the world river runoff [1]. It is also the ocean with the largest contributing basin area to water surface area ratio (i.e. 1.5:1.0).
