Global ocean freshening, ocean mass increase and global mean sea level rise over 2005–2015

Abstract Global mean sea level has experienced an unabated rise over the 20th century. This observed rise is due to both ocean warming and increasing continental freshwater discharge. We estimate the net ocean mass contribution to sea level by assessing the global ocean salt budget based on the unpr...
