We do not blame glacial eustasy for those oscillations, rather ocean dynamic factors like drastic changes in evaporation / precipitation or redistributions of the water masses.

Consistent with how I was reading things, pleasantly — barring some cautious hedging I'd made, based on the possibility that salinity could reflect mass changes, either when fresh water was added to the ocean via glacial melt or impoundment decreases (ocean mass increase) or via increased evaporation rates (ocean mass decrease).

Hatun et al. examined the possibilities that [i] a change in rain falling over the ocean (freshens the water) and evaporation (increases the salinity by removing water and leaving salt behind), [ii] increased salinity in the sub-tropical gyre (in the main part of the North Atlantic), [iii] increased salinity in the sub-polar gyre, or [iv] dynamical changes in the relative contributions from the two gyres could explain the high salinities in the in - flow regions.

There is so little understanding about how the ocean parses its response to forcings by 1) suppressing (local convective scale) deep water formation where excessive warming patterns are changed, 2) enhancing (local convective scale) deep water formation where the changed excessive warming patterns are co-located with increased evaporation and increased salinity, and 3) shifting favored deep water formation locations as a result of a) shifted patterns of enhanced warming, b) shifted patterns of enhanced salinity and c) shifted patterns of circulation which transport these enhanced ocean features to critically altered destinations.

However, with me at least, a bit part of the deal is the increased acidity reducing fish harvests, water shortages, droughts severely reducing crops (sure — more rain, but more over the ocean, less on land — and with greater evaporation before the water trickles to a dry stream bed), increased heat reducing rice production and other heat sensative crops, the heat waves, etc..

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 resOcean 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 resocean as tropical water is circulated north show similar results?

(I think that an anomalously warm ocean surface heated from below would lead to more evaporation, and the additional water vapor would give a positive greenhouse effect that would partially offset the effect of a drop in greenhouse gas concentrations.)

This mimicking of aspects of the ocean conditions, including the evaporation of water vapor into the system, permits tropical systems to persist longer than they otherwise would.

If precipitation increases over the tropical oceans, more than evaporation increases, the sea water salinity could decrease.

The increased area of warm water on the surface allows the tropical Pacific Ocean to discharge more heat than normal into the atmosphere through evaporation.

http://typhoon.atmos.colostate.edu/Includes/Documents/Publications/gray2012.pdf The Physical Flaws of the Global Warming Theory and Deep Ocean Circulation Changes as the Primary Climate Driver The water vapor, cloud, and condensation - evaporation assumptions within the conventional AGW theory and the (GCM) simulations are incorrectly designed to block too much infrared (IR) radiation to space.

Only in certain regions, notably in the Antarctic and northwest Atlantic Oceans, does a combination of evaporation (which increases the water's salt content) and wintertime cooling make surface water dense enough to sink all the way down.

Six types of instruments aboard Aqua are to scan through the atmosphere down to the surface, gathering the most detailed data ever on water vapor in clouds, ice crystals in the air, evaporation, water in the oceans, icebergs and other sea ice, as well as glaciers and snow pack on land.

The planet when understood, is in constant change from water loss to space to distance changes from the sun... but a general assessment of areas for decades is possible with watching salt ocean patterns as that dictates evaporation.

For the 2015 commission, internationally acclaimed artist Tania Kovats explores the significance of our relationship with water and the world's seas and oceans through a brand new installation «Evaporation».

However, there is also the expansion of the Hadley Cells where water vapor from tropical ocean evaporation rises, water in the form of rain falls out as the air cools with increased altitude, then dry air descends at poleward edge of the cells in the dry subtropics.

With the Earth known as the «water planet» because of over 70 % of the globe covered by deep oceans, warmer temps directly result in more evaporation of the ocean water into the air - clouds.

One of the most effective of these is the illustration of the water cycle — from evaporation over the ocean to precipitation over distant mountain tops — this keystone of weather is laid out in easy and approachable detail.

The Arctic Ocean's surface temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes; [4] its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to low evaporation, heavy fresh water inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic waters with higher salinities.

After entering the Atlantic Ocean, the surface waters join the wind - driven currents in the Atlantic, becoming saltier by evaporation under the intense tropical sun.

As you say «Simples» Think of the ocean as an open pot of warm water with constant heat input (TSI) at a level where water is held at constant temperature by evaporation and internal convection.

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

► Evaporation is the movement of water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and soils into the atmosphere.

I don't have any references, but since IR only penetrates the nano - skin of ocean water and absorption and reemission is a VERY rapid process, then as I understand it, there is very little heating of the water, and hence not much in the way of increased evaporation.

A rise in evaporation can not cause a global effect, only a local one — the evaporated water has to condense and return to the ocean somewhere so this process represents a redistribution of existing energy, not a global increase.

The lack of» water vapor» is, because: it was more water in Arctic ocean without ice cover as» insulation» - > water absorbed extra coldness and the currents brought extra coldness in North Atlantic = above the ocean is colder = less evaporation - > less water vapor produced - > less moisture going west from central Atlantic.

Because the sea surface gets colder, there is less evaporation, and thus less heat transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere during the time it takes for the water to reach the Arctic Oocean to the atmosphere during the time it takes for the water to reach the Arctic OceanOcean.

Here how it works: Think of the ocean as an open pot of warm water with constant heat input (TSI) at a level where water is held at constant temperature by evaporation and internal convection.

LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the evaporation deficit.

Note 1: A simple hotspot explanation summarized from this article: Increasing CO2 levels causes atmosphere to warm; then atmosphere causes Earth's surface to warm; warming of oceans cause evaporation; increased evaporation leads to more water vapor in the upper troposphere; water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere even more (positive water vapor feedback); the Earth's surface warms even more; and then auto «repeat and rinse» until Earth's oceans boil, per an «expert.»

Where do you think the energy that lifts water from the ocean through evaporation and deposits it up on land where it descends in rivers through power dams generating electricity comes from?

When the sun heats our tropical oceans, evaporation causes that heated water to become more saline and denser.

Remember that fresh water freezes more easily than the ocean's usual salt water, so if downwelling fails locally, a puddle of fresher water may form from the rains or floods — and it will freeze more easily, preventing the winds from doing their evaporation job that might restart the downwelling.

One reason for this big influence is that evaporation from the oceans is the primary source of water vapor in the atmosphere.

There is growing evidence that this has already occurred31 through more evaporation from the ocean, which increases water vapor in the lower atmosphere32 and autumn cloud cover west and north of Alaska.33

The key to this model lies in the distribution of precipitation on Earth, with maxima in the tropics and in high latitudes, so that the Arctic receives an excess of precipitation over evaporation of about one third, which is associated with the permanent presence of the low salinity surface water mass of the Arctic Ocean, separated by a halocline from the saltier Atlantic water below.
