Satellite surface salinity
ID: satellite-surface-salinity
Satellite surface salinity refers to the measurement of the salt concentration in the ocean's surface layer, which is inferred from satellite observations. Salinity is an important parameter in oceanography because it affects ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, and climate. Satellites measure surface salinity indirectly by observing physical properties of seawater, such as: 1. **Sea Surface Temperature (SST):** Variations in temperature can influence salinity measurements.
