I. Once Upon A Report
It is time to mention where, when, and by whom the warming science commentariat were originally led astray.
Yes, led astray on the myth that "thermal expansion is the MAJOR cause of sea level rise."
That source is the 2007 IPCC report:
"At the global level, simple models representing the expansion of sea water and melting/sliding of land-based ice sheets and glaciers were used in the TAR to obtain estimates of globally averaged mean sea-level rise ... Thermal expansion contributes about 60 to 70% to these estimates. Projections are ... due mainly to improved estimates of ocean heat uptake but also to smaller assessed uncertainties in glacier and ice cap changes. However, uncertainties in carbon cycle feedbacks, ice flow processes, and recent observed ice discharge rates are not accounted for due to insufficient understanding (Meehl et al., 2007). (Meehl et al., 2007)."(IPCC 2007, p. 153, PDF). The startling thing about this, to me, is that they simply ignored the obvious source of most sea level rise, because "we don't know much, or not enough", which is true ... but also beside the point:
What is included in these sea level numbers?(Real Climate, emphasis added). Possibly due to the fact that their sea level rise projections have been 100% wrong all along, they have changed their opinion in subsequent IPCC reports (good!).
Let us have a look at how these numbers were derived. They are made up of four components: thermal expansion, glaciers and ice caps (those exclude the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets), ice sheet surface mass balance, and ice sheet dynamical imbalance ... The contribution from glaciers and ice caps (not including Greenland and Antarctica), on the other hand, is computed from a simple empirical formula linking global mean temperature to mass loss (equivalent to a rate of sea level rise), based on observed data from 1963 to 2003. This takes into account that glaciers slowly disappear and therefore stop contributing – the total amount of glacier ice left is actually only enough to raise sea level by 15-37 cm.
...
– note the IPCC still assumes that Antarctica gains more mass in this manner than Greenland loses.
Yes, now they even include the largest sources (Greenland & Antarctica) of sea level rise, and fall (what will they think of next?) in their models.

But, since the warming commentariat is more obstinate, more stuck in the mud, and probably funded by Oil-Qaeda, the thermal expansion myth is still being perpetuated.
I mean this very year and this very month (Ocean Warming, PDF).
The reason the warming commentariat are that way is their trust in personalities rather than trust in a personal viewing and understanding of the evidence (The Pillars of Knowledge: Faith and Trust?).
II. Arithmetic Is Scientific
In yesterday's post I elaborated on the World Ocean Database (WOD) zones bordering the equator (On Thermal Expansion & Thermal Contraction - 7).
It included the graph reposted today as Fig. 2.
The figures for each zone (62 had data available) involved in making that graph are as follows:
WOD Zone: 1004 (all figures in deg. C)That is the way I "trust" scientific papers (by examining the evidence).

See, science is not that hard.
Later I will add to this post the mean average of all the zones involved, because I don't want to post so much info in a single post from now on.
So, I am finishing up on that code.
The previous post in this series is here.
