Since the saltiness of ocean surface waters is a key variable in the climate system, understanding how this changes is important to understanding climate change. Thanks to ESA’s Climate Change ...

NASA’s new Aquarius instrument has produced its first global map of the salinity of the ocean surface, providing an early glimpse of the mission’s anticipated discoveries. Aquarius, which is aboard ...

We’ve got a new tool to understand what’s going on in Mobile Bay on an hour to hour basis, and it should be a boon to fishermen of all stripes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has ...

Huge swaths of sea in the Southern Hemisphere have never been measured for saltiness. Yet mapping the amount of dissolved salt content and how it’s distributed in the world’s oceans could give us a ...
