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 ...
Cliff Ross notes that in stories and studies on human-caused climate change, most of the emphasis is on a rapidly warming world that is expected to only get hotter and hotter. That's fair enough, he ...
Off the coast of Western Australia, the Southern Indian Ocean is becoming significantly less salty, and scientists say it’s happening at a rate never seen before. This rapid freshening has raised ...
Ocean salinity refers to the concentration and spatial–temporal variability of dissolved inorganic salts in seawater, typically expressed in practical salinity units (PSU) or as absolute salinity (g ...
A thought-provoking review led by an international team of researchers reveals the critical, yet poorly studied role of salinity in a changing ocean and coastline. The study underlines how changes in ...
LOS ANGELES - An international mission will chart the saltiness of the ocean - from outer space. An Argentine-built spacecraft carrying instruments from the United States and other nations is set to ...
Using a design inspired by one of the ocean's best sailors, a team of scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is developing a low-cost sensor for ocean observations. The sensors are ...
