Abstract
As a result, the total ratio of RG to glacier water volume equivalent is estimated to be 1:1,649 (Table This implies that glaciers contain a store of water 1,649 larger than that of RGs at the near-global scale. " now reads: "As a result, the total ratio of RG to glacier water volume equivalent is estimated to be 1:2,226 (Table This implies that glaciers contain a store of water 2,226 larger than that of RGs at the near-global scale. " Furthermore, "Excluding those RGI regions where no systematic RG inventory studies have been undertaken (i.e. Arctic Canada North, Arctic Canada South, Russian Arctic, and South Asia West), the estimated ratio of RG to glacier water volume equivalence is 1:1,098. For completeness we also excluded the Antarctic and Subantarctic and Greenland Periphery RGI regions, similar to other studies 45 , along with the aforementioned RGI regions where no systematic RG inventories have been undertaken. The resulting estimated ratio of RG to glacier water volume equivalence globally is 1:456. " now reads: "Excluding those RGI regions where no systematic RG inventory studies have been undertaken (i.e. Arctic Canada North, Arctic Canada South, Russian Arctic, and South Asia West), the estimated ratio of RG to glacier water volume equivalence is 1:1,482. For completeness we also excluded the Antarctic and Subantarctic and Greenland Periphery RGI regions, similar to other studies 45 , along with the aforementioned RGI regions where no systematic RG inventories have been undertaken. The resulting estimated ratio of RG to glacier water volume equivalence globally is 1:618. " Lastly, under the subheading 'Conclusions' , "These indicate that RG water stores are of potentially significant hydrological value (83.72 16.74 Gt). "
