The mechanism by which the effect of oceanic variability
over time is transferred to the atmosphere involves
evaporation, conduction, convection, clouds and rainfall the significance of which has to date been almost entirely ignored due to the absence of the necessary data especially as regards the effect of cloudiness changes on
global albedo and thus the amount of solar energy able to enter the
oceans.
The principal scientific objective is to make
global SSS measurements
over the ice - free
oceans with 150 - km spatial resolution, and to achieve a measurement error less than 0.2 (PSS - 78 [practical salinity scale of 1978]-RRB- on a 30 - day time scale, taking into account all sensors and geophysical random errors and biases.Salinity is indeed a key indicator of the strength of the hydrologic cycle because it tracks the differences created by varying
evaporation and precipitation, runoff, and ice processes.
