Dip in Salinity at the Equator The objective of this study is to examine the possible cause of the dip in salinity around the equator and to answer the question of whether it could be argued that higher temperature causes more evaporation from the Continue Reading...
dip" (i.e., decrease) in salinity around the equator? Could it not be argued that higher temperature causes more evaporation from the ocean surface, which, in turn, results in higher salinity content? This theorem can help: Higher salinity = highe Continue Reading...
Continental tropical (cT) air masses are hot, dry, unstable at low levels and generally stable aloft (upper-level ridge); they originate in northern Mexico. Continental polar (cP) or continental arctic (cA) air masses are cold, dry, and stable origi Continue Reading...
