Estimate how much the salinity of the surface water of the Arctic Ocean would need to increase before the surface density would equal the potential density at 1000-m depth. how does this compare with the average salinity of the ocean? (Good values might be T=-1.5˚C, S = 32.8, and potential density about 24.5.)
