Salinity Earth Space Science Nasa's salinity program spans from sea to space. for example, field campaigns have provided detailed insights into the processes that alter salinity by moving freshwater into and out of our ocean. These resources help researchers study the effects of salinity on the environment, water cycle, and climate, both in specific locations and around the world. access a range of datasets and data tools to further your salinity research.
Salinity Earth Space Science Sea surface salinity (sss) varies because freshwater input & ouput – part of the global hydrologic cycle – varies from place to place. the large scale pattern of evaporation and precipitation is established by earth's atmospheric convection cells. The salinity gradient webpage is funded by nasa osst and implemented and maintained by earth & space research (esr). the goal is to provide a systematic estimation and assessment of satellite sss gradients over the global ocean, including spatiotemporal variability and regional analyses. In this paper, we take stock of the broad scientific advancements and related discussions, assessing to what extent salinity from satellites has been a game changer in physical and biogeochemical oceanography, and in climate science at large. The satellite sss observation from the soil moisture and ocean salinity (smos), aquarius, and soil moisture active passive (smap) missions have provided an unprecedented opportunity to map sss over the global ocean since 2010 at a 40 150km scale with a revisit every 2 to 3 days.

The monitoring of soil moisture and sea surface salinity over the earth has been profoundly enhanced during the last thirteen years due to a new generation of satellite sensors. Here, we investigate how salinity and the partition of heat production between the silicate core and the ice shell affect ocean dynamics and the associated heat transport—a key factor determining equilibrium ice shell geometry. Here the rationale for measuring salinity from space is explained, and the technical advances that have made this possible are described. some examples are given of how the recently available sea surface salinity measurements from space have provided new insights into oceanographic phenomena. Salinity data are key for assessing the marine carbonate system, and new space based salinity measurements will enable the development of novel space based ocean acidification assessment.
