  2. Estuaries of Texas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estuaries_of_Texas

    Map of the major and minor estuaries of the Gulf Coast of Texas. The U.S. state of Texas has a series of estuaries along its coast on the Gulf of Mexico, most of them bounded by the Texas barrier islands. Estuaries are coastal bodies of water in which freshwater from rivers mixes with saltwater from the sea.

  3. Redfish Bay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfish_Bay

    The northernmost extensive beds of seagrass in Texas, including Turtle Grass (Thalassia testudinum) and Shoal Grass (Halodule beaudettei), are found in the bay.In June 2000, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department designated the bay as a scientific area to study the seagrass, as a result, the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area was established.

  4. Baffin Bay (Texas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffin_Bay_(Texas)

    [7] [8] Because of the scarce freshwater inflow and extensive evaporation, which is promoted by shallow water and warm climate, the bay has a relatively high water salinity reaching 75‰ (parts per thousand) in its northern part. [9] Between 1946 and 1948 and in 1968, the salinity level in the bay exceeded 100‰ killing much fish in the area ...

  5. Laguna Madre (United States) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguna_Madre_(United_States)

    Laguna Madre has a salinity of 36 parts per thousand (ppt), [12] which is above the seawater average of 35 ppt. [13] Because of the high salinity, it holds the distinction as one of the Earth's six hypersaline lagoons/bays, the others being Sivash in Ukraine, Laguna Ojo de Liebre on the west coast of Baja California, Spencer Gulf and Shark Bay ...

  6. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Conductivity based TDS meter in a cup of water. The two principal methods of measuring total dissolved solids are gravimetric analysis and conductivity. [4] Gravimetric methods are the most accurate and involve evaporating the liquid solvent and measuring the mass of residues left.

  7. List of bodies of water by salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bodies_of_water_by...

    This is a list of bodies of water by salinity that is limited to natural bodies of water that have a stable salinity above 0.05%, at or below which water is considered fresh. Water salinity often varies by location and season, particularly with hypersaline lakes in arid areas, so the salinity figures in the table below should be interpreted as ...

  8. Salinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinometer

    A salinometer. A salinometer is a device designed to measure the salinity, or dissolved salt content, of a solution.. Since the salinity affects both the electrical conductivity and the specific gravity of a solution, a salinometer often consist of an ec meter or hydrometer and some means of converting those readings to a salinity reading.

  9. Argo (oceanography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_(oceanography)

    At Ocean Station Papa in the Gulf of Alaska the temperature and salinity at the surface might be about 6°C and 32.55 parts per thousand giving a density of sea-water of 1.0256 g/cm 3. At a depth of 2000 metres (pressure of 2000 decibars) the temperature might be 2°C and the salinity 34.58 parts per thousand.
