Tera = 1000 gigas. Idk if they are doing a switch between metric and imperial tons as well but that difference is less than the margins of error anyways.
my math must be really off then. ( (1/361.8 mm of sea-level rise per Gt of ice loss) * 1000) * 7.5 = 2713mm = 106.83 inches = 8.9 feet. and the global ocean hasnt risen that much.
( (1/361.8 mm of sea-level rise per Gt of ice loss) * 1000) * 7.5 = 20.73mm. Which is about double what the actual paper says, so there’s probably some weird metric vs imperial issues.
About a centimeter (spread out across the oceans).
“1/361.8 mm of sea-level rise per Gt of ice loss” is the assumption they use for that.
Gt being 1/1000th of a Tn? or is Tn the small one?
