Salinity Patterns in the Ocean
@inproceedings{Talley2002SalinityPI, title={Salinity Patterns in the Ocean}, author={L. Talley}, year={2002} }
Ocean salinity varies geographically and with time. Freshwater input occurs at the sea surface due to precipitationand river inflow, reducing salinity. Salinity is increased byevaporation and also as a by-product of sea ice forma-tion. Because freshening and salinification occur in differentplaces, salinity at a particular location reflects the upstreamsource of the water there. In subtropical latitudes, high sur-face evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface.In subpolar latitudes… CONTINUE READING
