One unit equals one latitude/longitude square. While increasing by swelling to the north, the temperature inside the area essentially does not increase, in spite of the self-evident fact that absorption of solar heat increases the whole time in the top 100 m of the water column. It is proposed that sea level rises by thermal expansion, starting at the equator, producing a northward slope in sea level which in turn drives warm water in the surfac
