Temperature-salinity curve

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010808

A graphical representation showing the relationship between temperature and salinity at different depths in a body of water. This curve characterizes water masses and their origins, as specific combinations of temperature and salinity are unique to certain oceanic regions. It is a key tool for oceanographers studying ocean circulation and mixing processes.
