Science Results From Aquarius and SMOS Ocean Salinity Missions - 2012

Explore cutting-edge research on ocean salinity from the Aquarius and SMOS missions in this 1 hour 54 minute conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Gain insights into new satellite-based observations of sea surface salinity, including a fresh perspective on ocean surface dynamics, results from the Salinity Processes Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS), and the impact of diurnal cycles and precipitation on near-surface salinity. Discover how researchers are blending in situ and satellite data to create improved salinity analyses, and examine the interactions between tropical cyclones and river plumes. Investigate the salinity structures associated with tropical instability waves and learn about the ENSO signature in SMOS salinity maps. Deepen your understanding of ocean processes and climate dynamics through these state-of-the-art presentations on satellite-derived ocean salinity measurements.
