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).
Sometimes, salinity is measured in different units. Another common unit is the psu (practical salinity units). Ocean water has a salinity of approximately 35 psu. Scientists measure salinity using a CTD instrument (CTD = conductivity, temperature, depth).
