Salinity changes in the World Ocean since 1950 in relation to changing surface freshwater fluxes
in Climate Dynamics
| Description | We have related changes in the global ocean salinity field to changing surface patterns of evaporation and precipitation, over the period 1950-2010, based on a process-level understanding of ocean circulation. This provides more confidence in the estimated intensification of the global hydrological cycle, that is associated with global warming. |
| Exploitation Route | We extended this research through a subsequent project, CLimate scale analysis of Air and Water masses (CLAW), funded by a NERC Standard Grant. |
