I haven’t actually measured the temperature, but I seem to recall that when you slide your fingers up and down the sides of the glass you can feel the different temperatures of the different layers. In salt water a cold layer on top of a warmer one, in fresh water a cold layer below a warmer one. But you are saying that in salt water the temperature is homogeneous throughout the water column and are wondering why, am I getting that right?

Have you ever measured the temp. around the ice cube and/or at the bottom of the cup. I have noticed an interesting fact which I can’t find answer for. In salt water, the top temp. is more or less the same as bottom temp. in contrast to tap water, where the top temp. is higher than the bottom temp. due to covection.
Do you have an explaination for that?
Thank you,
