AB: The seasonal cycle of river runoff in the Bay of Bengal is estimated by assimilating climatological data into an ocean model of intermediate complexity. The reconstructed river transports fit independent land-based observations within their error bars. Six precipitation products are discussed for their ability to reproduce the observed salinity field in the framework of the numerical model used for inversion of the data.
