These are measurements Ajax. Measurements. The papers you quoted used models to determine the effects of changing continental mass on Global Sea Level.

Jason1 and 2 and Topex have satellite altimeters. If you have a boat,  you might be familiar with sonar instruments. Satellite altimeters use microwave pulses instead of sound. It's as close to an absolute measurement as you can get.

OTHER satellites ? 
What other satellites?  Do these satellites float in the ocean perchance?

Do you have personal satellites that nobody else knows about?

This I've got to hear. 

You do know that you can drown if you wade too far into the ocean? (out of your depth)

Not only that but other satellites tell a different story...!!

Muso that's exactly what i have come to expect from your mob, they take one paper usually the one that presents the worst case and showcase it to the world.

A fair and balanced view...........sure take that paper and flash it around but also inform the audience that there are other papers that show different outcomes.

There are also other scientists that present quite a different picture than the one your presenting.

Dr. Mörner currently has no formal position in INQUA, and I am distressed that he continues to represent himself in his former capacity. Further, INQUA, which is an umbrella organization for hundreds of researchers knowledgeable about past climate, does not subscribe to Mörner's position on climate change. Nearly all of these researchers agree that humans are modifying Earth's climate, a position diametrically opposed to Dr. Mörner's point of view

striking claims that jar with the generally accepted scientific view that sea levels are rising due to climate change, and that this will affect low lying countries.

As a result, Mörner's work has been subjected to close examination by other scientists working on sea level change in the Maldives, including papers from Professor Colin Woodroffe at the University of Wollongong, Professor Philip Woodworth of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, and a group of Australia scientists led by Dr. John Church at the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research.

They all criticise Mörner's approach and conclusions - Woodworth examined Mörner's claims from "meteorological and oceanographic perspectives" and found them "implausible". Woodroffe described Mörner's claims as "questionable" pointing out his methodologies do not stand up to scrutiny, and that his conclusions lack supporting evidence. The group of Australian scientists found "no evidence for the fall in sea level at the Maldives as postulated by Mörner."

Futhermore, Mörner's claims about satellite altimetry are in error - the technique shows that sea levels rose by around 3 mm per year between 1993 and 2006.

...
Dr. Nils Axel Morner is on the ground taking measurements that's real world measurements.

Nils-Axel Mörner
Credentials

    Ph.D., Geology, (1969). [1], [2]

Background

Mörner is a retired professor from the University of Stockholm where he was the head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department from 1991 to 2005. [1], [3]

Mörner claims to be an expert in "dowsing," the practice of finding water, metals, gemstones etc. through the use of a Y-shaped twig.

Mörner's attempt to prove his dowsing abilities is chronicled by James Randi, [4] the well-known myth buster, who has offered the longstanding One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge.

Give me a link to some of his actual data.
