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.

Salinity Scales


Refractometer

Conductivity meter
