  1. Sea Level Change over 1992-2002 in seven ocean syntheses Project detail @ http://www.clivar.org/data/synthesis/directory.php

  2. all synthesis have good agreement with data in mean SSH (cm)

  3. all synthesis capture the large-scale sea level trend (cm/yr) quite well

  4. steric change from the whole water column steric change is a major component in total sea level trend (=steric+eustatic)

  5. steric change from upper 700 m layer contribution from upper ocean is dominant in steric change

  6. thermosteric change from the whole water column Of total steric change(= thermosteric+halosteric), thermal expansion has large contribution …

  7. halosteric change from the whole water column while halosteric component is small, but in some region it’s large to compensate thermosteric component

  8. Zonal average steric trends Generally, large trend in mid-latitude ocean, but more differences among each synthesis in zonal average quantities
