Climatic Consequences of Long-term Global Salination of Ocean

Climate change is a global phenomenon affecting both terrestrial and aquatic life. Global warming and the melting of polar and Greenland ice have a dilutingeffect on oceans. The sea level rise at low sea temperature is hardly affected by the thermal expansion of oceans, but seriously impacted by the huge amount of water released by the melting snow and ice of the arctic ice caps and the Greenland ice sheet.

Another threat of global importance that has not been dealt with is known as salinity oscillation discussed here in terms of global vapor pressure changes governed by Rault’s law of dilute solutions. Thermosteric changes have receivedconsiderable attention, but salinity-driven halosteric patterns of long-termsea level change have not been throughly investigated. Only regional halosteric anomalies have been considered as important drivers of the sea level variability. Medium-term, multidecadal changes have been ignored because the halosteric fluctuations could not be detected or were close to zero, as well as historical salinity measurements were not sufficient to come to any conclusion and primarily thermosteric effects have been taken into consideration in climatic changes.
