Description: Deeper in the water column, the salinity at 250 m for winter, spring, summer, and fall shows much less variability from direct surface forcing, as well as a structure defined more by the saltier Loop Current Waters that enter between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba and then meet the relatively fresher Gulf of Mexico waters.
