Arctic hydrology

Water in the Arctic that either fell as rain or melted from snow and ice, flows via different paths before reaching the ocean. Runoff regime and hydrological processes shape the landscape and influence dynamics of glaciers. Glaciers have complicated drainage systems - meltwater can flow on the surface of glacier (supraglacially), within glacier in tunnels (englacially), or drain to the glacier base through moulins and flow along or within the bed (subglacially).

Procesy hydrologiczne w Arktyce

Woda w Arktyce, która spadła jako deszcz lub wytopiła się ze śniegu i lodu, przed dotarciem do oceanu płynie różnymi ścieżkami. Jej odpływ i procesy hydrologiczne kształtują krajobraz i wpływają na dynamikę lodowców. Lodowce mają skomplikowane systemy odwadniające - woda ze stopionego lodu może płynąć po powierzchni lodowca, w tunelach w jego wnętrzu lub spływać do dna lodowca. Spływ wody ma duże wahania dobowe, a jego maksimum występuje latem.
