Characteristics of the seasonal cycle of surface layer salinity in the global ocean
Description: In this interactive open access journal paper, the seasonal variability of surface layer salinity (SLS), evaporation (E), precipitation (P) and E-P over the global ocean is examined using in situ salinity data and the National Center for Environmental Prediction's Climate System Forecast Reanalysis. Seasonal amplitudes and phases are calculated using harmonic analysis and presented in all areas of the open ocean between 60° S and 60° N. [Source: Ocean Science]
