Sea surface salinity, Aquarius image C017 / 6816
Sea surface salinity, Aquarius image. Computer model showing the salinity (dissolved salt-content) of the Atlantic Ocean, based on information recorded by the Aquarius spacecraft from December 2011 to December 2012. Salinity is colour-coded, from lower levels (blue) to higher levels (red). Understanding salinity, the amount of dissolved salts in water, helps to better understand the water cycle and can lead to improved climate models. Aquarius is a collaboration between NASA and the Space Agency of Argentina

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of sea surface salinity in the Atlantic Ocean, as captured by the Aquarius spacecraft from December 2011 to December 2012. The computer model presents a mesmerizing visual representation of salinity levels, color-coded from serene blues denoting lower levels to fiery reds representing higher concentrations. Understanding salinity is crucial for comprehending the water cycle and enhancing climate models. By studying the amount of dissolved salts in water, scientists can gain valuable insights into Earth's environment and climate patterns. This collaboration between NASA and Argentina's Space Agency, Aquarius, has paved the way for improved meteorological and climatological predictions. The black background intensifies this striking illustration that symbolizes our growing knowledge about our planet's oceans. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous exploration and observation of Earth from space during the 21st century. This artwork not only highlights scientific advancements but also emphasizes our responsibility towards environmental science. Through hydrology research and environmental observations, we strive to protect these vast bodies of saline water that play an integral role in sustaining life on Earth. As we delve deeper into understanding sea surface salinity through such visually stunning models like this one, we unlock new possibilities for accurate climate modeling and furthering our comprehension of Earth's complex systems.
