The highest temperatures are at the

of the ocean. However, the water conserves some salinity from the surface at

levels. At cooler temperatures, density does not change much with temperature, so

changes dominate.

By just looking at surface temperature and salinity we can see tat there is not a simple distribution.

More saline and higher temperature areas sit under

pressure areas.

Ocean gyres appear above large masses of

and these circulate beneath

pressure belts, e.g. the Gulf Stream. These move

in the northern hemisphere. However, Coriolis pushes water into the

of the gyre, the salinty builds and the water becomes

meaning that it begins to sink.
