salinity"A measure of the quantity of dissolved salts in seawater. It is formally defined as the total amount of dissolved solids in seawater in parts per thousand (0/00) by weight when all the carbonate has been converted to oxide, ...

In oceanography, conductivity is measured and converted to salinity by a known functional relationship between the measured electrical conductivity of seawater temperature and pressure.

salinity The degree of salt in water. salt water intrusion The invasion of fresh, surface, or groundwater by salt water. seasonal variation The change in a set of meteorological parameters averaged over three months.
Salinity(6)
The degree of salt in water. The rise in sea level due to global warming would result in increased salinity of rivers, bays and aquifers.

SALINITY A measure of the quantity of dissolved salts in sea water. The total amount of dissolved solids in sea water in parts per thousand by weight. SALT WATER The water of the ocean, distinguished from fresh water by its appreciable salinity.
Salinometer Any device or instrument for measuring salinity, especially one based on electrical conductivity methods. SAM Station for Atmospheric Measurements.
Slow moving currents driven by differences in temperature and salinity link the major sources of heating and cooling across the ocean basins.
THERMOHALINE In oceanography, it pertains to when both temperature and salinity act together.
In oceanography, it pertains to when both temperature and salinity act together. An example is thermohaline circulation which is vertical circulation induced by surface cooling, which causes convective overturning and consequent mixing.
Isohaline A line (or surface) connecting points of equal or constant salinity in water bodies or groundwater.
Isoheight Same as a contour depicting vertical height of some surface above a datum plane.
Density of water is increased by both salinity and temperature - the colder and saltier the water is the denser it is. This deep water flows to the Gulf of Mexico until it warms enough to resurface and flow back north as the Gulf Stream.
Water found rivers, lakes, and rain, that is distinguished from salt water by its appreciable lack of salinity.
FRICTION ...
An example of a process is the vertical mixing of ocean waters in the so-called surface-mixed layer; the state variables for this process include temperature, salinity in the water on a vertical scale of tens of meters, ...
In addition to meteorological measurements of atmospheric conditions, measurements were made of ocean temperature with depth, velocity of ocean currents, depth of mixing layers, salinity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other chemical constituents.
