Abstract

A synthesis of present knowledge about the formation and evolution of vertical and horizontal variability in near-surface salinity at scales relevant to satellite salinity is presented. The success of satellite salinity measurements suggests new possibilities of using global maps of salinity to monitor and understand ocean dynamics and the global hydrological cycle. The potential impact of both vertical salinity gradients and subfootprint-scale variability on satellite and in situ salinity data comparisons is discussed.
