From: Vertical redistribution of salt and layered changes in global ocean salinity

Surface fluxes and trends of salinity in sampled layers. a 22-year mean of the ocean surface freshwater flux (converted to psu m s−1). b Net surface salt flux into the ocean due to sea ice formation processes (psu m s−1). In a and b, positive values stand for net downward (upward) freshwater (salt) transport. c–f 22-year trends (psu year−1) of ocean salinity averaged over the whole water column (c) and three different layers (d–f). Note that the scale varies in different panels
