Ocean salinity measurement using remote sensing data

Ocean salinity is a very important parameter for the ocean fishery industry. The importance of scientific fishery resources development has necessitated this research. Water salinity is often measured to help the fishermen in locating their targets. But measurement of ocean salinity has formally been possible only by using traditional ship methods. In consequence, this paper has developed another way of measuring ocean salinity using satellite data. The paper shows that there is a correlation between the water color, water salinity and properties like abundance of fish and water turbidity. The work has correlated quantitatively the optical properties of water with relevant biological, biochemical and physical water parameters
