Testing for Salinity


Title:
Testing for Salinity

Description:
I taste test some canal water to see how salty it is. It was more bitter than salty. A lesson in what not to do with only 4 hours of sleep.

Why is the Ocean Salty?
http://www.tmwmedia.com/physical_geography2.html Watch an excerpt from this title in the Physical Geography II series, from TMW Media. All water, even rainwater contains dissolved chemicals which scientists call "Salts." These salts eventually wash down into rivers and streams and eventually find their way into oceans and seas.Subjects covered include: The origin of the sea. The sources of salt. The components of sea water. The salinity of the sea and its variability. How sea life affects sea waters composition.

Saltbush Lamb - Landline production about Bultarra lambs
ABC Landline Production about the changing fortunes of the once salinity ravaged Bultarra sheep station. The story depicts how the family owners worked with the CSIRO on planting the native, drought resistant Saltbush plant as a feed source for the sheep and a potential cure for their salinity problems. The resulting transformation of the Bultarra sheep station both curing the stations environmental issues aswell as producing a lamb product championed by some of Australia's hottest chefs.

SMOS: Helping Europe respond to climate change
A video from ESA regarding the SMOS (soil moisture and ocean salinity) mission. Video date- 11th Feb 08 Source- http://www.esa.int/esa-mmg/mmghome.pl 'To help address climate change, 2008 will see the launch of Europe's SMOS satellite. SMOS, which stands for soil moisture and ocean salinity, is designed to map these elements with unprecedented accuracy. Three-quarters of the globe is covered in water and its influence is felt everywhere. It's not only oceans, rivers and lakes that affect the climate but water in all its forms, such as soil moisture and its evaporation. SMOS, ESA's water mission, will provide a uniform dataset for understanding better the water cycle, thus helping to forecast climate change and predict extreme weather conditions. Circulating at a low orbit of around 750 km above the Earth, SMOS will be the first satellite to provide us with a global picture of ocean salinity levels. Understanding the salinity and temperature of the seas will help to predict more easily the zones where hurricanes intensify as they pass over the ocean. Salinity in the oceans has a big impact on ocean circulation, which plays a key role in driving the global climate. The SMOS satellite will be launched into space in 2008 atop the Russian launcher 'Rockot'.'
