But seen the environmental global CRISIS of GLOBAL WARMING and its devastating climatological impact, I would recommend as an environmental policy - expert that Both NATURAL plankton will be bred in shallow waters as carbondioxide inhibitors in a large volume on the one hand and let nature goes its course in the seas and oceans so that sea - organisms / life - forms / mamals will not become extinct due to (for them) food poisglobal CRISIS of GLOBAL WARMING and its devastating climatological impact, I would recommend as an environmental policy - expert that Both NATURAL plankton will be bred in shallow waters as carbondioxide inhibitors in a large volume on the one hand and let nature goes its course in the seas and oceans so that sea - organisms / life - forms / mamals will not become extinct due to (for them) food poisGLOBAL WARMING and its devastating climatological impact, I would recommend as an environmental policy - expert that Both NATURAL plankton will be bred in shallow waters as carbondioxide inhibitors in a large volume on the one hand and let nature goes its course in the seas and oceans so that sea - organisms / life - forms / mamals will not become extinct due to (for them) food poisoning.

Vertical land movements such as resulting from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), tectonics, subsidence and sedimentation influence local sea level measurements but do not alter ocean water volume; nonetheless, they affect global mean sea level through their alteration of the shape and hence the volume of the ocean basins containing the water.

On decadal and longer time scales, global mean sea level change results from two major processes, mostly related to recent climate change, that alter the volume of water in the global ocean: i) thermal expansion (Section 5.5.3), and ii) the exchange of water between oceans and other reservoirs (glaciers and ice caps, ice sheets, other land water reservoirs - including through anthropogenic change in land hydrology, and the atmosphere; Section 5.5.5).

Cazenave, A., D. P. Chambers, P. Cipollini, L. L. Fu, J. W. Hurell, M. Merrifield, R. S. Nerem, H. P. Plag, C. K. Shum, and J. Willis, 2010: The challenge of measuring sea level rise and regional and global trends, Geodetic observations of ocean surface topography, ocean currents, ocean mass, and ocean volume changes.

For instance, if global warming were to increase the volume of water in the oceans by causing glaciers or other ice bodies to melt, this would cause the weight of water in the oceans to increase.

For instance, here's the data for delta - oxygen - 18 from a stack of 57 ocean sediment cores, which is considered an excellent proxy for global ice volume, known as the «LR04 stack» (from Lisiecki, L.E., & Raymo, M.E. 2005.

► Eustatic sea - level rise is a change in global average sea level brought about by an increase in the volume of the world ocean.

Eustatic change (as opposed to local change) results in an alteration to the global sea levels due to changes in either the volume of water in the world's oceans or net changes in the volume of the ocean basins.

From historic droughts around the world and in places like California, Syria, Brazil and Iran to inexorably increasing glacial melt; from an expanding blight of fish killing and water poisoning algae blooms in lakes, rivers and oceans to a growing rash of global record rainfall events; and from record Arctic sea ice volume losses approaching 80 percent at the end of the summer of 2012 to a rapidly thawing permafrost zone explosively emitting an ever - increasing amount of methane and CO2, it's already a disastrous train - wreck.

But it only produced about 1 meter of global sea level rise, assuming an even spread of this volume spread across the world's oceans.

In addition, glacial melt from mountain systems, Greenland and Antarctica is contributing ever - increasing volumes of water to the global ocean, forcing on the waters» rise at ever - increasing rates.

All of these characteristics (except for the ocean temperature) have been used in SAR and TAR IPCC (Houghton et al. 1996; 2001) reports for model - data inter-comparison: we considered as tolerable the following intervals for the annual means of the following climate characteristics which encompass corresponding empirical estimates: global SAT 13.1 — 14.1 °C (Jones et al. 1999); area of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere 6 — 14 mil km2 and in the Southern Hemisphere 6 — 18 mil km2 (Cavalieri et al. 2003); total precipitation rate 2.45 — 3.05 mm / day (Legates 1995); maximum Atlantic northward heat transport 0.5 — 1.5 PW (Ganachaud and Wunsch 2003); maximum of North Atlantic meridional overturning stream function 15 — 25 Sv (Talley et al. 2003), volume averaged ocean temperature 3 — 5 °C (Levitus 1982).

One could choose to look at the global mean sea level instead, which does have a physical meaning because it represents an estimate for the volume of the water in the oceans, but the choice is not crucial as long as the indicator used really responds to the conditions under investigation.

Record droughts in many areas of the world, the loss of arctic sea ice — what you see is an increasing trend that is superimposed on annual variablity (no bets on what happens next year, but the five - to - ten year average in global temperatures, sea surface temperatures, ocean heat content — those will increase — and ice sheet volumes, tropical glacier volumes, sea ice extent will decrease.
