Salinity Measurements in the Coastal Ocean. Workshop Review, September 14-15, 1998,

Abstract

The importance of salinity measurements in understanding coastal ocean processes has been long recognized. Unfortunately. the frequency of such measurements has decreased considerably in the past years. for a number of reasons. Salinity measurements are now made routinely at very few places. and there is no logical plan for where salinity measurements should be made or how frequently. We feel it is urgent that the United States initiate a modest salinity measuring program using existing technology and locations.
