Shifting ocean surface saltiness from 2004-2013
Description: All seawater is salty, but did you know that saltiness varies from one region to another across the world's oceans? Not only that, but changes in evaporation and rainfall, ocean currents, melting ice, and freshwater influx from rivers or streams can influence patterns of sea surface salinity, making some regions saltier and other regions fresher over time.
