Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010743
Water found in oceans and seas, characterized by its dissolved salt content, primarily sodium chloride. Its physical properties, such as density, temperature, and salinity, influence ocean currents, marine ecosystems, and atmospheric processes like evaporation and cloud formation. The average salinity of seawater is approximately 3.5% or 35 parts per thousand.
