Article Synopsis
- Sea surface salinity significantly affects the global ocean's thermohaline circulation, with inland streamflow from large catchments playing a vital role near megadeltas.
- The study identified a strong negative relationship between sea surface salinity and streamflow, with notable correlations observed in many of the 48 studied megadeltas, particularly in tropical and river-influenced areas.
- By analyzing these interactions, the research enhances understanding of how freshwater discharge impacts ocean and climate systems, highlighting the importance of climate and human activities in these dynamics.
