Exploring Properties of Seawater with OOI Data
Through these Data Explorations, you can dive deeper into properties of seawater. The properties of seawater explored include: salinity variations over time and space, processes that affect surface seawater salinity, changes in pH with depth, relationship between pH and oceanic pCO2 for the carbonate buffering system, variations in salinity with depth over time and space, and the depth of the halocline over time and space.
