Using newly available satellite observations of sea surface salinity (SSS), we provide, for the
first time, a detailed and synoptic view of the spatiotemporal variability of SSS in the South …

Recent satellite observations reveal that the annual cycles of tropical sea surface salinity
(SSS) minimum (Smin) and subtropical SSS maximum (Smax) are phased locked, with the …

Abstract The impacts of El Niño on sea surface salinity (SSS) in the South China Sea (SCS)
are investigated using satellite observations, in-situ data, and reanalysis products. Here, we …

This study examines the impact of ocean advection and surface freshwater flux on the non‐
seasonal, upper‐ocean salinity variability in two climate model simulations with eddy …

Argo profiling floats and L‐band passive microwave remote sensing have significantly
improved the global sampling of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the past 15 years, allowing the …

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of the tropical Pacific Ocean exert powerful controls on
regional and global climates. Previous studies have suggested that during warm climate …

Satellite observations of sea surface salinity (SSS) have been validated in a number of
instances using different forms of in situ data, including Argo floats, moorings and gridded in …

The variability in sea surface salinity (SSS) on different time scales plays an important role in
associated oceanic or climate processes. In this study, we compare the SSS on sub-annual …

We perform a statistical characterization of the 2016–2017 SPURS‐2 field campaign in situ
data and coincident satellite data spanning 8°–12° N, 120°–130° W to quantify the spatial …

This paper describes the large, diverse set of in situ data collected during the Salinity
Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Study 2 (SPURS-2) field campaign. The data set …
