Going over the basics of how the ocean works, talking about salinity’s relationship with density and its role in water mass formation. ...more.
In this informative video, we delve into the crucial relationship between ocean temperature and salinity.
21 Αυγ 2007 · The Density Current segment describes how the different densities of water in the ocean create currents. Third segment of the Ocean Odyssey describes how the salinity and temperature of...
Temperature and salinity control seawater's density. The weight of seawater determines whether it sinks or floats, helping to drive deep ocean circulation. At the sea surface, wind and waves move seawater — and the heat it carries — around our globe.
The Earth's axial rotation, revolution about the sun, and tilt all play a role, as do the wind-driven ocean surface currents. The first animation in this group shows the long-term average sea surface temperature, with red and yellow depicting warmer waters and blue depicting colder waters.
Important state variables measured for parcels of water in the ocean are therefore temperature, which is related to the heat content, salinity, which is related to the amount of dissolved...
