Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon sink constrained by sea surface salinity. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2021 Observed sea surface salinity constrains past and future anthropogenic carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean. The ocean attenuates global warming by taking up about one quarter of global anthropogenic carbon emissions.

The impact of rainfall on the sea surface salinity: a mesocosm study. [PDF]
Sci RepSea surface salinity may serve as a tracer for freshwater fluxes because it is linked to evaporation and precipitation that force the freshwater balance of the ocean’s surface.

Remote sensing of sea surface salinity: challenges and research directions
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023 Salinity is a key parameter that affects the surface, deep circulations, and heat transport of oceans. Sea surface salinity (SSS) represents the salinity at the ocean surface and impacts atmosphere – ocean interactions and vertical ocean circulation.

Global Analysis of Coastal Gradients of Sea Surface Salinity
Remote Sensing, 2021 Sea surface salinity (SSS) is a key variable for ocean–atmosphere interactions and the water cycle. Due to its climatic importance, increasing efforts have been made for its global in situ observation, and dedicated satellite missions have been launched ...

Improved BEC SMOS Arctic Sea Surface Salinity product v3.1
Earth System Science Data, 2021 . Measuring salinity from space is challenging since the sensitivity of the brightness temperature (TB) to sea surface salinity (SSS) is low (about 0.5 K / psu), while the SSS range in the open ocean is narrow (about 5 psu, if river discharge areas are ...

Inversion of Ocean Subsurface Temperature and Salinity Fields Based on Spatio-Temporal Correlation
Remote Sensing, 2022 Ocean observation is essential for studying ocean dynamics, climate change, and carbon cycles. Due to the difficulty and high cost of in situ observations, existing ocean observations are inadequate, and satellite observations are mostly surface ...
