Abstract The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are a group of 49 of the world's poorest countries. They have contributed least to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) but they are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This is due to their location in some of the most vulnerable regions...

This paper discusses the use of Jason‐2 radar altimeter measurements to estimate the Ganga‐Brahmaputra surface freshwater flux into the Bay of Bengal for the period mid‐2008 to December 2011. A previous estimate was generated for 1993–2008 using TOPEX‐Poseidon, ERS‐2 and ENVISAT, and is now extended...
