Answer:
between 32 and 37 parts per thousand
Surface salinity
Overall, the salinity of Indian Ocean surface waters varies between 32 and 37 parts per thousand, with large local differences.
Explanation:
Exchanges of mass and salt between the mixed layers in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are exam-ined in a model of the Indian Ocean using passive tracers as a tool to map the pathways. Inflow of high salinity wa-ter from the Arabian Sea into the Bay of Bengal is signif-icant and occurs after the mature phase of the southwest monsoon. Freshwater transport out of the Bay of Bengal is southward throughout the year along the eastern bound-ary of the Indian Ocean. Low salinity water transport into the Arabian Sea occurs in the Somali Current during the southwest monsoon, closing a clockwise path of water mass transport. Only a small fraction of low salinity water is ad-vected into the eastern Arabian Sea from the Bay of Bengal.
