Influence of local and remote climate processes on driving the salinification followed by freshening phases in the eastern Arabian Sea
Sea surface salinity (SSS) modulates upper-ocean stratification, air–sea coupling, and freshwater redistribution in the North Indian Ocean, yet its interannual variability in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) remains insufficiently quantified. This study evaluates satellite-derived SSS from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Sali...
