salinities
Ocean water measurements
Salinities is the plural of salinity, the concentration of dissolved salts in water or soil.
Different bodies of water have different salinities: Ocean salinities vary with latitude and depth.
The term appears most often in oceanography, ecology, and agriculture, where salt levels affect marine life and crop viability.
