The steric effect. Calculate the expected rise in sea level if the global ocean were to warm

Question:

The steric effect. Calculate the expected rise in sea level if the global ocean were to warm by 1°C. Use the mean depth of the ocean to be 3800 m, and the coefficient of thermal expansion to be 1-2x10-4/°C (the coefficient increases with water temperature). Redo the calculation if only the well-mixed layer of 100 m thickness has warmed by 3 °C.
