Description: Laboratoire de Physique de Oceans, CNRS-IFREMER-IRD-UBO, Plouzané, France. The meridional transport of salt is computed in a global
eddy-resolving numerical model (1/12° resolution) in order
to improve our understanding of the ocean salinity
budget. A methodology is proposed that allows a global analysis of
the salinity balance in relation with surface water fluxes, without
defining a freshwater anomaly based on an arbitrary reference
salinity. T...
