Session ID#: 14142

Session Description:
This session highlights research investigating ocean salinity, an Essential Climate Variable (ECV), as a key parameter that links various elements of the water cycle to ocean circulation dynamics and climate.
Contribution s are invited on all aspects of ocean salinity investigations including analyses undertaken from in situ and satellite observations, numerical models, and data assimilation. We particularly welcome contributions that have utilised sea surface salinity (SSS) measurements from the recent pathfinder satellite missions (SMOS, Aquarius/SAC­D, and SMAP). The session will focus on: recent progress from salinity remote sensing; new process­based insights from observations collected during the SPURS field campaign; salinity­driven thermohaline circulation, upper­ocean stratification, and related ocean dynamics; links between salinity and global and regional climate variability, the water cycle as well as the fingerprint of long­term change; salinity assimilation into ocean models; and the scientific imperative for future salinity measurement continuity and enhancement.
