👉 The term "salinity" refers to the concentration of dissolved salts in seawater. It is a measure of how saltier or salty a water body is, as the concentration of salt increases with depth and pressure. In general, higher salinities are associated with deeper waters, while lower salinities are found in shallower waters. Salinity can be measured using various techniques such as optical methods, ion chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
