SALINITY OVERVIEW Salinity is the concentration of dissolved salts in water, usually expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). Objects float higher in salt water than fresh water because salt water is denser (heavier per unit of volume).
Typically, the salinity decreases from the surface ocean to deep waters is very small, from about 36 g/L (ppt) at the surface to 35 g/L (ppt) in the deep water, thus there is a very small density decrease with depth given a constant temperature.
