Sea Leve Rise 2.3 or 3.9 Meters per °C - Levermann 0613.pdf - Figures A-D represent 4 ice sources.
A: sea water expansion.
B: mountain (non-polar) glaciers.
C: Greenland.
D: Antarctica.
E: Total.
Note that paleoclimate studies (indirect observations) have found much higher sea level rise per °C warming than Levermann's models do. The difference stems from Antarctica.
Also, like Levermann's, much published research leaves unclear if warming is surface or the entire ocean. Stated differently, they assume than air at the land and sea surface warms as fast as the water in the ocean. Since 1960, land and sea surfaces have warmed 25 (recently) to 50 times (not as recently) as fast the whole ocean.
See, for example, "Climate Sensitivity, Sea Level & Atmospheric CO22“ - Hansen 0913 on Overviews page for sea level and Deep Ocean Temperatures (3rd graph on Home page, also on Overviews page & 2nd graph on Heat page).
For a 2nd example, see Tripati (2009) on Heat page: 3-6°C warmer and seas 25-40 meters higher (7-8 meters per °C) - for essentially today's CO2 levels. For a 3rd example, connect 120-meter sea level rise since the last galcial maximum (see graph above) to warming since then from Vostok ice core data. Vostok data shows 8-10°C warming over that time span (at the polar surface, but ~ 3 to 5°C warming for the deep ocean. (This comes from Hansen's book chapter in Springer, 2012, which has part 3 of 3-part graph (part 1 is on Home page and parts 1-2 on Overviews page)).
