0 the fact of containing salt of the amount of salt contained in something:
1 a measure of the amount of salt dissolved in water, esp. sea water
The water was carefully controlled for temperature, salinity and acidity.
The ongoing drought has increased the salinity of the estuaries.
The density after this adjustment depends only on temperature and salinity, and it is referred to as the potential density.
These simulations also demonstrate that salinities are probably high, which would restrict life to extreme halophiles.
Most larvae of the above mentioned bird parasites are found in areas of lower salinity and can complete therefore their life cycle in brackish waters.
The perturbations to both the temperature and the salinity are dominated by the z-independent terms.
On the other hand, the presence of homogeneous layers introduced step changes in salinity at the upper and lower boundaries of the gradient region.
