How do oceanographers measure the different densities out in the open ocean

Temperature and salinity (the amount of dissolved salts in the water) affect the density of the water. Ocean salinity differs by small numbers, so oceanographers need to be accurate when measuring salinity. Changes in density caused by wind and currents at the surface affects the deep-ocean currents.

The salinity of ocean water can be determined by measuring the conductivity of the water. The characteristics of water such as salinity, depth, temperature, density can be defined by the instrument called Conductivity Temperature Depth instrument. Using this technique oceanographers determine the salinity of water.

Describe how ocean currents help make temperatures at different places on earths surface more similar than they would be if ther

luda_lava [24]

The earths surface is heated by the Sun's rays which are directed at the equator 0° latitude. If there were sea currents the closer you got to the equator the hotter it will get and the further away you go from the equator the colder it will get. Thus ocean currents distribute the heat at the equator around the earths oceans to even out the difference in the heat zones, so that the equator is not a desert and the rest of the earth is an ice age.
