We’ve got a new tool to understand what’s going on in Mobile Bay on an hour to hour basis, and it should be a boon to fishermen of all stripes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has ...

Coastal salinity is an increasing challenge in low-lying agricultural landscapes. Saltwater inundation (SWI) from tidal flooding can create obvious dead zones along field edges, but these visible ...

Huge swaths of sea in the Southern Hemisphere have never been measured for saltiness. Yet mapping the amount of dissolved salt content and how it’s distributed in the world’s oceans could give us a ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- A NASA satellite studying the Earth's oceans has produced its first global map of the salinity of the planet's seas, the space agency said. The Aquarius satellite's ...
