NorKyst-800 Average sea salinity

The dataset represents 10 years averaged (2013-2022) values of salinity at the surface, water masses (intervals for 5m, 15m, 30m, 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m and 250m), as well as at the seabed.

Bottom salinity is derived from a ten-year simulation with a three-dimensional, hydrodynamic current model. For more info, see the product sheet. For more information, please see the product sheet.

Salinity is given in parts per thousand.

Purpose: Presentation of average salinity data on the sea surface, in certain intervals in the water masses (5m, 15m, 30m, 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m and 250m), and at the seabed.

The simulation period is a decade from 2013-2022.

Spatial scope

Regional

Specific usage: Salinity in the sea is an important factor indicating which water mass is dominant, and this in turn will have an impact on the distribution of different marine species.

The oceanographic map products are continuously updated as new input data or new modelling methods that prove to be more realistic are adopted.

Updates do not take place periodically. Last update: 01.01.2024

Statement: Bunntemperatur er hentet ut fra en ti år lang simulering med en tredimensjonal, hydrodynamisk strømmodell. Simuleringsperioden er en dekade fra 2013-2022. Basert på timesverdier er det beregnet middelverdi.
