Pertaining to changes in climatic temperature.
- Global estimates of heat content (0–750 m) and thermosteric height were completed by Willis et al. (2004) using in situ data alone and in combination with altimetric height.2010, John A. Church, Philip L. Woodworth, Thorkild Aarup, Understanding Sea-level Rise and Variability, →ISBN, page 150:
- Thermosteric and halosteric changes may be partly due to changes in the inflowing Atlantic water and also due to changes in surface heat fluxes within the Mediterranean basin.2012, Piero Lionello, The Climate of the Mediterranean Region, →ISBN, page 266:

- According to the news editors, the researchers concluded: “Using state-of-the-art estimates for the thermosteric, mass and tidal contributions we show that the flooding events in Venice are expected to dramatically increase in a climate change scenario."2013, Advances in Ecology Environment and Conservation Research and Application, →ISBN:
