    • : the quality or condition of being salty; saltiness: Ocean currents are driven by differences in the temperature and salinity of the water.
    • : a measurement of the amount of salt in a given solution:Adding fresh water to a marsh lowers salinity.

Examples

  • Archaea often live in extreme environments, like hot springs and volcanic vents on the seafloor, characterized by high temperatures, high pressures, high salinity, high acidity or other threats.

  • Scientists knew that acoustic transmissions depend on water density, which, in the ocean, depends on temperature and salinity.

  • Gliding about 50 meters above the seafloor, the AUV collected the first direct measurements of temperature, salinity and oxygen levels in the water.

  • The subtropical convergence is an area of the ocean where temperature and salinity can change rapidly, and this can aggregate whale prey.

  • They exist in both fresh and salt water, and some species seem capable of thriving in brackish water of any degree of salinity.

  • Moreover, when they freeze a certain amount of salt leaves the ice and thereby increases the salinity of the surrounding water.
