| Abstract |
Our study focuses on the variability of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) near south Greenland. This is based on extensive in situ data gathered from a variety of sources, including Argo floats, CTD casts, thermosalinographs, and drifters, as well as the satellite-derived SSS product from the Climate Change Initiative (CCI). The CCI SSS effectively captures a significant portion of the salinity’s seasonal and interannual variability beyond 50km from the coast, outperforming SSS from individual satellite missions. The examination of a well-sampled fresh blob in fall 2021 suggests that satellite SSS is a valuable tool for studying freshwater transfer from the shelves to the deeper ocean, particularly during ice-free periods. However, we found positive biases in the CCI SSS on the shelves, highlighting the need for improved absolute calibration in these areas. For a more detailed study of SSS within 50km of the coast, a satellite SSS with a higher spatial resolution would be required. |
