Not exact matches
Sea surface salinity (SSS) of the HC control run matches observations, but is much too low
for the MPI control case (1.2 psu).
For example, clouds can cool the
sea by blocking the warming rays of the sun or reduce
surface salinity by bringing rain.
The group highlighted the added value of measuring paired coral strontium / calcium ratios (Sr / Ca) and oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O), two key proxies
for sea surface temperature that are often referred to as paleothermometers (δ18O also reflects
sea surface salinity).

sea surface salinity for summer precipitation over the US Midwest: Mechanisms and predictive value (J. Climate)
Linsley's analysis resulted in the first multi-century record of
sea surface salinity for the Makassar Strait.
In Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBF), the 1998 El Nino induced above average

for 2 months triggering massive coral losses in the reef's upper 20 meters.
«Although long considered implausible, there is growing promise
for probabilistic climatic forecasts one or two decades into the future based on quasiperiodic variations in
sea surface temperatures (SSTs),
salinities, and dynamic ocean topographies.
