What is ocean salinity usually expressed in?
parts per thousand
Ocean salinity is usually expressed in?
parts per thousand
Average salinity of the arctic ocean?
its 20 ppt (parts per thousand)
Salinity variations in the open ocean normally range from 33 parts per thousand to?
38 parts per thousand
The average ocean salinity is less than 4 percent?
The average ocean salinity is around 3.5%. It is typically measured in parts per thousand (ppt) or in PSU (practical salinity units), with most oceans having a salinity close to this average value.
What is ocean water salinity?
Salinity is defined as the total amount of solid material in grams contained in 1km of sea water and is expressed as part per thousand. Salinity affects physical property of ocean such as temperature, pressure, density, waves and currents.
What instrument measures ocean current?
A thermometer is sufficient.
How do scientist measure the salinity of ocean water?
count the grams of salt present in ever 1,000 grams of water
Is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water?
Salinity is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water. The higher the concentration of salts, the higher the salinity of the water. Salinity is often measured in parts per thousand (ppt) or practical salinity units (PSU).
What term do oceanographers use to describe the amount of dissolved salts in ocean water?
The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)
Salinity variations in the open ocean normally range from 33 percent to?
Salinity variations in the open ocean typically range from about 33 parts per thousand (ppt) to 37 ppt. These variations can be influenced by factors such as evaporation, precipitation, river runoff, and ocean currents. In some regions, such as coastal areas or estuaries, salinity can fluctuate more dramatically due to localized conditions. Overall, the average salinity of seawater is approximately 35 ppt.
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
