Aquarius: Sea Water Salinity and Earth's Chnaging Environment (Calendar: Meadowlands Environment Center  Location: Meadowlands Environment Center)
"Nearly everyone knows that seawater is salty but most are unaware that salinity -- the concentration of dissolved salts in water -- is not measured by satellite. In response, NASA is developing a pioneering mission to make Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) observations over the global ice-free oceans. After its 2010 launch, Aquarius will deliver 150-kilometer resolution SSS maps over its 3-year mission lifetime. Learn how NASA plans to track the Sea Surface Salinity and improve our understanding of our vast oceans.
