Going towards the tropics, There is a subtle increase in heat, This is caused by lots of radiation and low precipitation. This causes the water temperature to be higher hence, making the water very salty. As we go towards the Equator we notice that the salinity is very low, this is because there is high precipitation and this makes the water salinity drop drastically.
