  2. Saline water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

    At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 °F) (the boiling temperature of pure water), the amount of salt that can be dissolved in one liter of water increases to about 391 grams, a concentration of 28.1% w/w.

  3. Seawater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawater

    The average density at the surface is 1.025 kg/L. Seawater is denser than both fresh water and pure water (density 1.0 kg/L at 4 °C (39 °F)) because the dissolved salts increase the mass by a larger proportion than the volume. The freezing point of seawater decreases as salt concentration increases.

  4. Water distribution on Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_distribution_on_Earth

    Most water in Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from saline seawater, while fresh water accounts for nearly 1% of the total. The vast bulk of the water on Earth is saline or salt water, with an average salinity of 35‰ (or 3.5%, roughly equivalent to 34 grams of salts in 1 kg of seawater), though this varies slightly according to the amount of runoff received from surrounding land.

  5. Salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity

    Salinity is an ecological factor of considerable importance, influencing the types of organisms that live in a body of water. As well, salinity influences the kinds of plants that will grow either in a water body, or on land fed by a water (or by a groundwater). [19] A plant adapted to saline conditions is called a halophyte.

  6. Cabbeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabbeling

    Cabbeling may also occur in fresh water, since pure water is densest at about 4 °C (39 °F). A mixture of 1 °C water and 6 °C water, for instance, might have a temperature of 4 °C, making it denser than either parent. Ice is also less dense than water, so although ice floats in warm water, meltwater sinks in warm water.

  7. Haline contraction coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haline_contraction_coefficient

    With these two coefficients, the density ratio can be calculated. This determines the contribution of the temperature and salinity to the density of a water parcel. β is called a contraction coefficient, because when salinity increases, water becomes denser, and if the temperature increases, water becomes less dense.

  8. Oceanic freshwater flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_freshwater_flux

    Thermohaline forcing refers to density-gradient driven motions, whereby density is determined by the temperature (‘thermo’) and salt concentration (‘haline’) of the water. Heat and freshwater fluxes at the ocean's surface play therefore a key role in forming ocean currents.

  9. Temperature–salinity diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature–salinity_diagram

    T-S diagram of a station in the North Pacific. In oceanography, temperature-salinity diagrams, sometimes called T-S diagrams, are used to identify water masses.In a T-S diagram, rather than plotting each water property as a separate "profile," with pressure or depth as the vertical coordinate, potential temperature (on the vertical axis) is plotted versus salinity (on the horizontal axis).
