What is it about?
This paper describes a global numerical model (Rain Impact Model, RIM) that predicts the near-sea surface salinity stratification due to rainfall. RIM uses environmental inputs from global rainfall and ocean salinity models to provide an auxiliary data product that is used in conjunction with the NASA SMAP satellite mission's sea surface salinity data product-

Perspectives
This publication provides valuable insight into the sea-surface salinity stratification caused by rainfall, which is important for the correct interpretation of satellite ocean salinity measurements.
