Comparison of thermohaline staircases thickness with regional salinity. (a) Scatterplot between the collocated salinity and average thermohaline staircases thickness for the three seismic sections (gray dots) and calculated trend (black line). (b) Map of the thickness of thermohaline staircases calculated from recorded seismic data on top of the mean salinity distribution for 1300 m of depth (salinity map extracted from the WOA1830).
