The impact of rainfall on the sea surface salinity: a mesocosm study

Abstract Sea surface salinity may serve as a tracer for freshwater fluxes because it is linked to evaporation and precipitation that force the freshwater balance of the ocean’s surface. The relationship between freshwater fluxes and salinity anomalies in the upper few centimeters remains widely unkn...
