 | Ocean Salinity & Density Currents Class Copy Ocean Salinity Oceans are salty Salts make up 99. 7% of the ocean’s dissolved materials. The common term to describe the dissolved salts in seawater is salinity. Ocean water contains many different kinds of salts, but the most abundant is sodium chloride (NaCl) 274.96 Kb. 3 | read |
| Tropical Atlantic Biases in ccsm4 Abf a similar problem arises in the coupled model if the atmospheric component produces alongshore winds that are too weak. Erroneously warm coastal ssts spread westward through a combination of advection and positive air-sea feedback involving marine 1.09 Mb. 5 | read |
