What is
Salinity ?
Salinity refers to the concept of saltiness of a
body of water. Water is defined as saline if it contains 3 to 5%
salt by volume. The ocean is naturally saline at ~3.5% salt (see sea
water). Some inland salt lakes (seas) are even saltier. The
technical term for ocean saltiness is halinity, from the
fact that halides (chloride, specifically) are the most abundant
anion in the mix of dissolved solids. In oceanography, it has been
traditional to express salinity as concentration in parts per
thousand (ppt or o/oo), which is grams salt per litre of
water.

How Can
Salinity be
Measured?
Salinity can be measured in the laboratory using a bench
Salinity Meter, in outdoor and field applications a portable
Salinity Meter
would be used.
