Aquarius satellite mission is studying the impact of changes in ocean circulation and salinity of sea water to climate change the world.

U.S. space agency (Nasa) launched a satellite that will measure the salinity of the ocean, on a mission to help scientists better understand climate change the world.

Delta 2 rocket, carrying satellites Aquarius observers that, slid on Friday from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

Scientists hope to learn what the impact of changes in ocean circulation and salinity of sea water to climate change the world. The experts said the Argentine-made space observatory that can measure the salinity of the ocean with almost absolute fidelity.
