   Salinity Stratification in Water Columns
   In deep, stratified water bodies, salinity differences (haloclines) often create sharper density barriers than temperature differences ([thermoclines)]. This is particularly evident in fjords and certain enclosed seas where an influx of fresh surface water (from melting glaciers or heavy rain) overlays denser, saltier deep water. This density stratification resists vertical mixing, w…
