The stability of the marine water column depends on both temperature and salinity.



If the temperature increases, the water expands, creating a zone of lower density, causing the volume to tend to float.



Conversely, if salinity increases, density increases, causing the volume to sink.



In this sense, there is a competition between the effects of temperature and salinity, where the volume can try to rise or sink. The latter case is key for the generation of deep currents.
