Increase in sea level variability with ocean warming associated with the nonlinear thermal expansion of seawater

Sea level variability will increase by up to 10% globally on seasonal-to-interannual timescales for future upper-ocean warming of about 2 °C, because thermal expansion accelerates at higher temperatures, suggest analyses of climate model simulations.
