Two methods to measure salinity are through electrical conductivity and the total dissolving salts (TDS). Measuring the electrical conductivity involves passing a current through a water-salt sample and seeing how much current flow through it. The TDS method requires that of water-salt sample be allowed to dry through evaporation so that the resulting weight of the solid salt residue that is left can be measured.

Salinity of sea water is usually measured in parts per?
It is expressed as 'permille' or parts per thousand
Why has salinity been based on the amount of chlorine present in the oceans?
-Due to the principle of constant proportions -It can be accurately measured with a simple chemical analysis
What is a measure of the amount of dissolved salts in a liquid?

What is a measure of how salty water is?
Salinity is a measure of the saltiness of water.
Why do oceanographers take measurements of the of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
What units is salinity measured in?
