Figure 5.15. (a) Geographic distribution of short-term linear trends in mean sea level (mm yr^–1) for 1993 to 2003 based on TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimetry (updated from Cazenave and Nerem, 2004) and (b) geographic distribution of linear trends in thermal expansion (mm yr^–1) for 1993 to 2003 (based on temperature data down to 700 m from Ishii et al., 2006).
