Introduction
Salinity Definition
Salinity is the total amount of dissolved salts,in grams, in one kilogram of water. Thus, salinity is a dimensionless measure without units
Sensors
Salinity is a ratio and not a physical parameter that can be measured. Thus, “Salinity sensors” do not exist. There are several different ways to calculate this ratio with pros and cons for each method.
