Table 1 Thermosteric sea level change (∆η_θ) and ∆η_TA in the KE recirculation (20° N–35° N, 140° E–160° E) on average for the final two decades of the 70 year-long integration for (a) the faf-heat experiment and the four additional faf-heat experiments limiting the heat flux perturbation to the specific areas, (b) the subtropical gyre region (4° N–38° N, 100° E–100° W), (c) the subpolar gyre region (38° N–64° N, 100° E–100° W), (d) the southern part of the subtropical gyre (4° N–20° N, 130° E–130° W), and (e) the areas excluding the Kuroshio and the KE recirculation region (20° N–35° N, 120° E–160° E)
