The authors identify freshening biases in the FWF in the subtropical regions of the North Pacific, South Pacific, and South Atlantic, which may be caused by the weak surface wind, high specific humidity,or high precipitation in the CORE.v2 data. The authors also find biases in sea surface salinity that are caused by ocean dynamics, such as in the North Atlantic, and that cannot be corrected by correcting surface forcing.展开更多
