Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 39, No. 2, Pg. 8:
The average surface salinity distribution in the global ocean, as compiled from many individual ship measurements, mostly during this century. The figure also shows the approximate coverage obtainable with an array of about 1,000 Slocums or PALACES. These would resolve the large scale features of the salinity field and provide completely new information on its variability with time. The array would be an early warning system for the Great Salinity Anomalies of the future.
