From the monthly emulations discussion last Friday (as well as discussion with @adam-subel and @amogh-gulati at the m2lines offsite), there is consensus that it is essential to include freshwater fluxes in our forcing to improve the quality of our salinity predictions. In the status quo, it seems like our model may be attempting to predict salinity without knowing essential inputs (water coming from the atmosphere via rain), just from one ocean state to the next.
This issue has three parts:
