The seasonal cycle of river runoff in the Bay of Bengal is estimated by assimilating climatological salinity/temperature and precipitation data into an ocean model of intermediate complexity. The resulting optimized river-transport field fits independent land-based observations within their error bars. Six precipitation products are discussed for their ability to reproduce the observed salinity field within the Bay.
