This study will focus on compiling existing knowledge from arctic water balance studies. This will be accomplished through 1) data collection through a survey of individual sites, 2) integrated data set development, and 3) comparative analysis. This research will create a unique database of water balance elements for the high latitude basins. The data will be used to compare and understand the water balance results from high latitude watersheds, with special emphasis on inter-annual variability, regional variability, long-term averages of the various hydrologic components (annual and seasonal), methodology for computations and scientific framework. Common issues, both strengths and weaknesses in northern hydrologic studies will be identified and collaborative research efforts to address these common issues will be recommended. The overall goal of this effort is to advance our understanding of circumpolar hydrologic processes through the synthesis of existing international data sets.

这项研究将着重于汇编北极水平衡研究中的现有知识。这将通过1）通过对单个站点的调查，2）集成数据集开发和3）比较分析来完成。这项研究将为高纬度盆地创建独特的水平元素数据库。这些数据将用于比较和理解高纬度流域的水平，并特别强调了年轻的变异性，区域可变性，各种水文组件的长期平均值（年度和季节性），计算方法和科学框架的方法。将确定北部水文研究中的优势和劣势的常见问题，并建议解决这些常见问题的协作研究工作。这项努力的总体目标是通过综合现有国际数据集来提高我们对近极水文过程的理解。
