Salinity can affect the density of ocean water: Water that has higher salinity is denser and heavier and will sink underneath less saline, warmer water. This can affect the movement of ocean currents. It can also affect marine life, which may need to regulate its intake of saltwater.

Salinity can have an effect on the density of ocean water: Water that has better salinity is denser and heavier and could sink beneath much less saline, hotter water.

In 2011, NASA released Aquarius, the agency's first satellite tv for pc device designed to look at the salinity of the world's oceans and expect destiny weather conditions. NASA says the device, released aboard Argentine spacecraft Aquarius/Satélite de Aplicaciones Científicas, measures the salinity withinside the surface—approximately the pinnacle inch—of the world's oceans.
