There’s nothing quite like taking a dip in the ocean in the summertime. Sand, sunshine and the smell of salt water are practically staples when the weather gets warm. The only thing that’s unpleasant ...

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is a fundamental parameter in the study of the Earth’s climate system, influencing ocean circulation, air–sea interactions and the global water cycle. Advances in satellite ...

Completely different scenarios. Sea water isn't safe to drink in large quantities because of the salt. If you're just eating the salt itself you're presumably consuming other things with it, just as ...

Earth observation measurements shouldn’t be taken with a pinch of salt. ESA is comparing readings of sea-surface salinity from drifting floats to confirm the SMOS water mission’s measurements. Since ...

La Niña—a climate phenomenon characterized by unusually cool sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean—can persist for multiple years, exerting significant climate ...
