The scale is +/- 0.05 m or +/- 5 cm = ~+/- 2 inches of water. I’ve calculated that 1” water (rain) = 17.4 million gallon/sq.mi. so 2” = 34.8 million gallons/sq.mi. A gallon weighs 8.35 lbs, so 2” water = 291,000 lbs or almost 150 tons/sq.mi. It’s an enormous amount. From the map, Australia gained about 150 tons/sq.mi. No wonder they had biblical floods. So did Pakistan. Also, the southern USA lost about 100 to 150 tons water/sq.mi. – that’s extraordinary drought. Also, since 1 mm sea level rise = 362 Gigatons (metric) of water, the 6 mm drop in sea level is equivalent to about 2200 Gigatons net less water globally in the ocean, presumably most went onto the land, but some also went to the warming atmosphere as humidity. These numbers are huge, and to think that happened in just a year. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Amount of water evaporated from the ocean in a year is amazing.</strong><br />Looking at the water map, the variations of mass in 12 months as shown on the map is astounding.
