What is meteorological oceanography?
It is the study of marine meteorology. It involves relating ocean processes to the effects it has on the weather and vice versa. For example how the warm oceans can affect weather or how rainfall can affect the salinity of the oceans. Basically it involves the study of atmosphere-ocean interactions.
What factors affects salinity?
There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
