Marine salinity plays a crucial role in the change of water circulation, ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, global weather and climate. However, restricted by observation, previous studies on marine salinity are relatively scarce, and the prediction involving marine salinity is even rarer. This study used the linear Markov model to forecast the Indian Ocean sea surface salinity (SSS). Based on the mixed layer salinity budget equation, the SSH (sea surface height), SST (sea surface temperature), and SSS were selected as the components of the model to forecast the Indian Ocean SSS. The Markov model makes a great prediction of the Indian Ocean SSS for nine months in advance. In addition, considering teleconnection, the addition of SSHA (sea surface height anomaly), SSTA (sea surface temperature anomaly) in the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) coefficient can improve the prediction skill by an average of 10% (correlation coefficient). Real-time prediction of the Indian Ocean SSS for 1-11 months using improved models shows that the predictions are roughly consistent with the observations. As mentioned above, the improved linear Markov model has a certain predictive skill for SSS in the Indian Ocean, and it can be further improved in the future.
