The objective of our study was to quantify the consistency of near - global and regional integrals of ocean heat content and steric sea level (from in situ temperature and salinity data), total sea level (from satellite altimeter data) and ocean mass (from satellite gravimetry data) from an Argo perspective.

The total 2000 — 2008 mass loss of ~ 1500 gigatons, equivalent to 0.46 millimeters per year of global sea level rise, is equally split between surface processes (runoff and precipitation) and ice dynamics.

Having said that, it is a really small effect — if the entire Arctic summer sea ice pack melted (average thickness 2 metres, density ~ 920 kg / m3, area 3 × 10 ^ 6 km ^ 2 (0.8 % total ocean area) = > a 4.5 cm rise instantly which implies a global sea level rise of 0.36 mm.

Interesting you cut - off total ice extents at 2012, especially since the total extent of Arctic sea ice has actually increased since then, and in fact the Antarctic ice extents are at a RECORD MAXIMUM — so things aren't always what they appear to be in a very complex system known as global climate.

As the rate of ice loss has accelerated, its contribution to global sea level rise has increased from a little more than half of the total increase from 1993 - 2008 to 75 - 80 percent of the total increase between 2003 - 2007.

Kjær, Kjeldsen and Korsgaard's team shows that the ice sheet «contributed substantially to sea level rise throughout the 20th century, providing at least 25 ± 9.4 millimeters of the total global mean rise,» writes Csatho, an associate professor of geology in UB's College of Arts and Sciences, in her News and Views analysis.

Instead the recent total CO2 increase in atmosphere has been about 2 ppm, where, according to natural laws, the anthropogenic share is 0.08 ppm; the total increase of CO2 content in atmosphere has been caused by warming of global sea surface, especially on the areas where sea surface CO2 sinks are.»

We want to ask you instead to begin fully embracing a just energy policy for all Virginians that reduces total climate pollution while investing in clean - energy jobs and real investments to protect our people and the military from accelerating sea - level rise and other impacts of global warming.

Lowballing the cost to upgrade each one to handle sea level rise at only $ 1 billion will still add up to a global total of trillions of dollars.

Their 0.2 mm / yr figure is taken to be consistent with an observed total sea level rise of 1.6 mm / yr from JASON - 1 and 2, but global averages from those satellites indicate a rise of about 2.5 mm / yr over the same period.

«It is very likely that the global mean rate was 1.7 [1.5 to 1.9] mm yr — 1 between 1901 and 2010 for a total sea level rise of 0.19 [0.17 to 0.21] m. Between 1993 and 2010, the rate was very likely higher at 3.2 [2.8 to 3.6] mm yr — 1; similarly high rates likely occurred between 1920 and 1950.

In combination with the low Arctic sea ice extent for November, this produced a remarkably low global sea ice total.

The Greenland ice sheet (GIS) has been melting so slowly and so negligibly in recent decades that the entire ice sheet's total contribution to global sea level rise was a mere 0.39 of a centimeter (0.17 to 0.61 cm) between 1993 and 2010 (Leeson et al, 2017).

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).

Instead, total annual average ocean heat content has increased steadily during the hiatus, at quite a confronting rate given that this metric is closely tied to global sea - level rise.

The melting contributes to about 1 % of the global sea level rise — a small contribution and only 3 — 4 % of the total contribution from global glaciers and ice caps.

As I understand this, on average sea levels have accelerated 0.02 + / - 0.01 mm year over 202 years or 4.04 mm in total added to global sea levels.
