Abstract
The Colville River drains an area of 60,000 km2 in arctic Alaska. Subice salinity measurements seaward of the Colville delta made possible the calculation of the river's discharge during breakup in 1971. Between May 27 and June 15 the discharge was 5.70 × 109 m3, which is about 58% of the total for 1971.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
