Salinity (PSU ≈ parts per thousand)
This area is outside NOAA's bay model, so the shading blends nearby sensor readings and fades out a few miles from each one. Treat it as a guide between sensors, not a measurement.
No salinity sensors near this station reported in the past week.
Model: NOAA Northern Gulf Operational Forecast System (NGOFS2). Sensors: Texas Water Development Board. Imagery: USDA/USGS The National Map.
