Answer 6

Salinity is either expressed in grams of salt per kilogram of water, or in parts per thousand (ppt, or ‰). For example, if you have 1 gram of salt and 1,000 grams of water, your salinity is 1 g/kg, or 1 ppt.

Answer 7

At the simplest level, salinity is the total amount of dissolved material in grams in one kilogram of sea water. Thus salinity is a dimensionless quantity. It has no units. The variability of dissolved salt is very small, and we must be very careful to define salinity in ways that are accurate and practical.
