Increasing stratification as observed by satellite sea surface salinity measurements [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Changes in the Earth’s water cycle can be estimated by analyzing sea surface salinity. This variable reflects the balance between precipitation and evaporation over the ocean, since the upper layers of the ocean are the most sensitive to atmosphere–ocean

Assessment of Aquarius Sea Surface Salinity [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Aquarius was the first NASA satellite to observe the sea surface salinity (SSS) over the global ocean. The mission successfully collected data from 25 August 2011 to 7 June 2015. The Aquarius project released its final version (Version-5) of the SSS data

On the Factors Driving Upper-Ocean Salinity Variability at the Western Edge of the Eastern Pacific Fresh Pool [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2019
The tropical Eastern Pacific Fresh Pool (EPFP) has some of the highest precipitation rates and lowest sea surface salinities found in the open ocean. In addition, the sea surface salinity in the EPFP exhibits one of the strongest annual cycles in the ...

Salinity and Temperature Balances at the SPURS Central Mooring During Fall and Winter [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2015
One part of the Salinity Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Study (SPURS) field campaign focused on understanding the physical processes affecting the evolution of upper-ocean salinity in the region of climatological maximum sea surface salinity in ...

Precipitation Estimates from SMOS Sea‐Surface Salinity [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2017
Two L‐Band (1.4 GHz) microwave radiometer missions, Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Soil Moisture Active and Passive (SMAP) currently provide sea‐surface salinity (SSS) measurements. At this frequency, salinity is measured in the first centimetre below the sea surface, which makes it very sensitive to the presence of fresh water lenses ...

Reconstructing three-dimensional salinity field of the South China Sea from satellite observations

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
High-resolution salinity information is of great significance for understanding the marine environment. We here propose a deep learning model denoted the “Attention U-net network” to reconstruct the daily salinity fields on a 1/4° grid in the interior of

Strengthening of Basin‐Scale Ocean Currents in Winter Drives Decadal Salinity Decline in the Eastern Arabian Sea

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Observations show a decreasing trend in sea surface salinity during the winter months in 1990–2010 in the southeastern Arabian Sea. To explain the observed salinity decline, we analyze changes in evaporation and precipitation, surface winds, sea level ...
