New maps of salinity reveal the impact of climate variability on oceans

Global sea-surface salinity 2012 and 2017

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 Initiative, scientists now have better insight into sea-surface salinity with the most complete global dataset ever produced from space.
