A new Indonesian coral - based record of surface
ocean salinity shows that the location of the most significant hydroclimatic feature in the Southern Hemisphere, the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ), a band of high clouds and precipitation, influences a major current in the far western Pacific Ocean.

I haven't read the papers and don't know what is happening with
salinity in the rest of the Atlantic, but looking at your map it occurred to me that if there was increased freshwater in the Northern
Ocean due to ice melting and increase salinity in the tropical Atlantic due to increased evaporation, couldn't a mixing effect at the southern edge of the Northern ocean as tropical water is circulated north show similar res

Yet measurements from more than 3600 automated buoys throughout the
ocean that dive down a mile and a quarter and take detailed temperature and
salinity profiles every ten days
show that the deeper strata are warming faster than the near - surface strata.
Previous research has
shown that global warming will cause changes in
ocean temperatures, sea ice extent,
salinity, and oxygen levels, among other impacts, that are likely to lead to significant shifts in the distribution range and productivity of marine species, the study notes.

They are both inconsistent with ARGO
salinity data which
shows that the
ocean are getting more saline and therefore losing mass.

salinity changes
shows that significant changes of
salinity, which are predicted in the World's

ocean surface
salinity shown is much more variable than expected.

In this paper, it is
shown that coherent large - scale low - frequency variabilities in the North Atlantic
Ocean — that is, the variations of thermohaline circulation, deep western boundary current, northern recirculation gyre, and Gulf Stream path — are associated with high - latitude oceanic Great
Salinity Anomaly events.
The results
shown here document that
ocean salinity and hence freshwater are changing on gyre and basin scales, with the near - surface waters in the more evaporative regions increasing in
salinity in almost all
ocean basins.
