Short summary
Dense water formed and exiting from the Barents Sea constitutes an important part of the global ocean circulation. Considering the significant impact of salinity changes in dense water formation, we investigate the salinity changes in the Barents Sea during the past 3 decades. Our results highlight the recent freshening and its drivers in the northern and southern Barents Sea and show its impact on the density of the waters exiting the Barents Sea.
