Salinity Meetings
Special Session
Planned at Ocean Sciences Meeting in Hawaii (February 2006)
THE ROLE
OF OCEAN SALINITY IN CLIMATE
OS093 Conveners: James Carton, Ray Schmitt and Gary Lagerloef
Ocean salinity is a key variable related to the interactions
between the Earthís water cycle, ocean circulation and
climate. Understanding its importance in climate variability
involves studying topics such as (1) the influence of salinity
variability on tropical dynamics and ENSO, (2) large scale
salinity changes in mid to high latitudes that influence mode
water formation and ocean convective overturning circulation
and (3) closure of the global ocean-atmosphere freshwater balance.
This session welcomes presentations on these general topics
and other processes that define the role of ocean salinity
in climate.
