Observed Variability of Near-Surface Salinity Field on Seasonal and Interannual Time Scales and Its Impact on the Evolution of Sea Surface Temperature of the Tropical Indian Ocean

A subset of the newly published salinity and temperature climatologies of the global ocean is assembled to examine the observed seasonal variability of the near-surface salinity field of the tropical Indian Ocean. The role of vertical haline stratification in the near-surface layers on the manifesta...
