Notes from the Field: Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS): Part Two

In the second part of this field campaign, scientists will visit the Pacific Ocean southwest of Hawaii where ocean salinity concentrations are driven by precipitation. They will spend six weeks studying how variations in salinity relate to an acceleration of the global water cycle and climate change.
