Slideshow: Monthly climatology maps of sea surface salinity (hover over images to pause the slideshow).
These composite maps show global sea surface salinity averaged by month and by
season. Click on the images (below) for a closer view.
In these maps, reds show higher salinity (40 grams per kilogram) and purples show relatively low salinity (30 grams per kilogram).
V5 is based on the latest algorithms developed by the Aquarius Calibration/Validation working group. These
maps are produced using software written by Joel Gales, John Wilding, and others at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
