Abstract
A simple two-layer model is used to study changes in sea level forced by fresh water and heat fluxes across the ocean surface, including the dynamical effects related to induced pressure gradients. These solutions (η E & η Q ) are compared with the expected expansion of the water column (η S & η T ) related to the salinity and temperature changes produced by the local fresh water and heat fluxes which are restricted to a surface layer. Deeper salinity and temperature variations produced by the induced pressure gradients, are excluded from the definition of η S and η T .
