The other two – Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) – are currently in orbit.

In the decade following 1963 there was an obvious freshening of the upper waters of the North Atlantic (the Great Salinity Anomaly [116]) which is thought to have originated in the Arctic Ocean [117].
-
Salinity changes in some coastal regions are governed more by the annual cycle of freshwater runoff than by ice, e.g., along the Norwegian coast, in the Bering Sea, and Hudson Bay.

Salinity, nutrients, fecal coliform bacteria, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals are concerns for river uses such as irrigation and drinking water.
-
The low salinity waters (called the Great Salinity Anomaly) were tracked around the Labrador Sea, across the Atlantic, and around the Nordic Sea before returning to the Greenland Sea by 1981 – 1982.

The Great Salinity Anomaly, first evident north of Iceland [119], peaked in the North Atlantic in 1969 [120], at the same time that unusually fresh and cold water was observed on the other side of Greenland [121].
