Not exact matches

Because water expands as it warms, that heat also meant that sea surface heights were record high, measuring about 2.75 inches higher than at the beginning of the satellite altimeter record in 1993.

They also measure a slightly different vaeiable: sea surface height (aka geocentric sea level, ie the height of the sea surface relwtive to the planet's center of gravity, rather than sea level proper, aka relative sea level, ie height of the sea surface relative to the solid Earth).

The second is what is termed as «steric change» — a scientific phrase that both identifies ocean thermal expansion due to warming combined with changes in ocean salinity, which also impacts sea surface height.

Another paper, [7] which they also cite, instead derives an equilibrium air — sea surface warming differential from a theoretical model based on an assumed relative humidity height profile, with thermal inertia playing no role.

They also find that the primary contribution to storm surges in the region are sea surface height anomalies from the Pacific, with local wind patterns causing small spatial differences in the sea surface height.
