Figure 5
From: Long-term, basin-scale salinity impacts from desalination in the Arabian/Persian Gulf
Yearly-averaged changes with respect to the baseline run (present-day climate with no desalination) as a function of the desalination fluxes. The panels show the change in salinity in the inshore (a), offshore (b) and deep (c) boxes. Temperature changes in the deep box are shown in panel (d). Panels (e) and (f) show, respectively, changes in the outflow from the inshore to the deep box and through Hormuz. The vertical gray lines mark the present-day desalination fluxes (continuous), the expected desalination fluxes by 2030 (dashed) and AGEDI’s projected desalination fluxes in 2050 (dotted).
