Salinity
What controls salinity
Evaporation
Precipitation
River discharge
Melting and formation of sea ice
How organisms survive in aquatic ecosistem
Difussion
Osmosis
How to measure salinity
Most common method: Use a sensor that measure the electrical conductivity of the water
More salinity = more electrical conductivity
Ocean Temperatures
Using CTD (Conductivity temperature and depth recorders)
Temperatures increasing factor : Changes in CO2 in the atmosphere
The increasing temperature cause :
Sea levels raise
The growth rates certain organisms at the very bottom of the ocean food chain
Ocean Color
Why is the ocean blue
Rayleigh scattering
Deep water
Light absorption
