Differences Among Subtropical Surface Salinity Patterns

Differences Among Subtropical Surface Salinity Patterns

The subtropical ocean, exposed to evaporation excess over precipitation, is characterized by regional sea surface salinity maxima (SSS-max). Ocean circulation and mixing processes inject freshwater, establishing a quasi-steady state, though imbalances across the time spectrum result in periods of in...
