DOI: 10.1002/2017jc013033
Abstract: Previous studies of the exchanges of the subtropical-tropical salinity in the North Pacific are still not conclusive. Some studies suggest that surface salinity anomalies formed in the northeastern subtropics can subduct and penetrate to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2020.111964
Abstract: Monsoon rain and rivers bring large freshwater input to the Northern Bay of Bengal (BoB), yielding low Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) after the monsoon. The resulting sharp upper-ocean salinity stratification is thought to influence tropical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-38743-z
Abstract: This study investigates the 2014/15 failed El Niño using salinity from an ocean general circulation model. The results indicate that subsurface processes were especially strong in the summer of 2014 and they led to positive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/acd0c4
Abstract: Marine heatwaves (MHWs) and low sea surface salinity (SSS) events can significantly impact marine ecosystems and dynamic systems, respectively. Compound marine extreme events can cause more significant damage than individual extreme events. However, the spatiotemporal… read more here.
