Whats accuracy and precision?
Accuracy: How close something is to the target. Near true value
Precision: Closeness to the measurement to each other.

Carbon sinks are things that store more carbon than it emits, while carbon sources emit more carbon than it stores.
What is salinity?
Salinity is the concentration or measure of dissolved salts in a body of water or soil.
