Map Description: This map is a composite image of sea surface salinity (SSS) from August 25, 2011 through May 31, 2015 (ascending passes) captured by Aquarius. This mission-length composite was created using version 5.0 Aquarius SSS data. Reds show higher salinity (40 grams per kilogram) and purples show relatively low salinity (30 grams per kilogram).
