Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water. The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt. This number varies between about 32 and 37 ppt. Rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation cause the variations. For example, the Black Sea is so diluted by river runoff, its average salinity is only 16 ppt. Freshwater salinity is usually less than 0.5 ppt. Water between 0.5 ppt and 17 ppt is called brackish. Estuaries, where fresh river water meets salty ocean water, are examples of brackish waters. Saline waters from inland seas can have a composition that differs from that of the ocean.

Surface water salinity ranges from 32 to 37 parts per 1000
Southern ocean, Pacific ocean, and the Atlantic ocean.
The salinity varies latitudinally. It's somewhere between about 3 and 5%.
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.

Arctic ocean
the surface of the ocean, like the top. where the water is less dense. less dense, less salinity, more dense, more salinity,think of it that way, that's how i do it.
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
No, the Atlantic ocean is the saltiest of the oceans.

Pacific Ocean
In open ocean evaporation affects the salinity of the oceans, in closed oceans the lack of sunrays cause greater salinity levels.
