- Salinity is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water. This is usually measured in salt(in grams)/sea water(in kilo grams).
- Salinity is an important factor in determining many aspects of the chemistry of natural waters and of biological processes within it, and is a thermodynamic state variable that, along with temperature and pressure, governs physical characteristics like the density and heat capacity of the water.
- A contour line of constant salinity is called an isohaline, or sometimes isohale.
