Salinity 盐度







Body of Water Grams
(per Liter)
Ounces
(per Quart)
Distilled 0 0
Baltic Sea 7.1 0.2
Black Sea 18.2 0.6
The Oceans 35.4 1.2
Red Sea 40.5 1.4
Great Salt Lake 172 5.7
The Dead Sea 293 9.8


We all know the oceans are salty but so are other sources of water. The oceans have a salinity (salt content) of 35. The Dead Sea has an average salinity of 290‰, almost nine times saltier than the oceans. But what actually does that mean? Just how salty tasting are these various bodies of water?

盐度(以S表示,Salinity)是指海水内盐的含量。盐度习惯以千分之一表示。
