Surface Freshening

Surface Freshening is a hydrological process in polar oceanography characterized by the reduction of seawater salinity at the surface layer due to the addition of freshwater from melting ice, precipitation, or river inflow, distinguishing it from other stratification mechanisms by its direct alteration of buoyancy through salinity changes.
