Based on the linear trend, for the 0 to 3,000 m layer for the period 1961 to 2003 there has been an increase of ocean heat content of approximately 14.2 ± 2.4 × 1022 J, corresponding to a global ocean volume mean temperature increase of 0.037 °C during this period.

The melting of Greenland, Antarctica, mountain glaciers around the globe, and the corresponding expansion of the volume of the ocean as it warms, are expected to increase their pace.

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

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.

Stratified oceans turning into extinction engines for fish and marine life, fresh water poisoning due to toxic algae blooms, oceans emitting increasing volumes of poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas into the air.

In the Arctic, there has been increased Eurasian river discharge to the Arctic Ocean, and continued declines in the ice volume of Arctic and sub-Arctic glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet (very high confidence).

Other simple methods for controlling sea level are almost as simple, using heavy equipment to move shoreline dirt inland, thus increasing the total volume of the ocean basin.

Heat seems to find it's way to parts of the ocean that don't increase in volume quite as much as expected.

Yes, a certain volume of water may get fertilised eventually anyway, but by fertilising it now can't we speed up the rate and thereby increase the general rate of carbon capture by the oceans?

Shifting large volumes of air towards the poles increases radiation of energy to space thus neutralising any warming of the air and shifting large volumes of air towards the equator draws heat from sunshine and oceans thus neutralising any cooling of the air.

Reynolds, 5.15 (± 0.64), Statistical (same as June) The long - term loss of extent in summer is largely driven by volume decline of ice in the Arctic Ocean mediated by the resulting increase in open water formation efficiency.

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.

If not, throw them all out and look for something else, like, it snows more when oceans get warmer and more thawed and the more snowfall increases ice volume and more ice weight increases ice flow and the increased ice extent limits the upper bound of temperature and causes cooling.

And any increase would be small relative to the volume of the ocean, so the increase in salinity would be minimal.
