NASA's new Aquarius instrument has produced its first global map of the salinity of the ocean surface, providing an early glimpse of the mission's anticipated discoveries. Aquarius' salinity data are showing much higher quality than we expected to see this early in the mission. Aquarius soon will allow scientists to explore the connections between global rainfall, ocean currents and climate variations. [Source: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory]
