Short summary
Rivers, vital to the Earth's system, connect the ocean with the land, governing hydrological and biogeochemical contributions and influencing processes like upwelling and mixing. This paper reviews methods to represent river runoff in operational ocean forecasting systems, from coarse-resolution models to coastal coupling approaches. It discusses river data sources and examines how river forcing is treated in global to coastal operational systems, highlighting challenges and future directions.
