1. Salinity of Ocean Water Linda Grenier and Alma Ritz Helms Project

2. Salinity (%o) of Ocean Water

3. Temperature (F) of Ocean Water Samples

4. Salinity (%o) from Different Locations

5. Location of Sample Water On 9/03/02 an ocean water sample was collected from the surface at Hyde Park. On 9/25/02 ocean water samples were collected from the surface, at 40’ depth, and at 80’ depth in the East Passage.

6. CONCLUSION In examining our data, we concluded that the lower salinity reading at the deeper depth would be caused by lower water temperatures; since salt precipitates out of water in colder temperatures.
