The steric sea level (SLAsteric), water-mass change (SLAmass) and their contributions to the sea level anomaly (SLA) in the South China Sea (SCS) are studied by using altimetry data, Ishii data and GRACE data. Annual harmonic results and correlation analysis indicate that the SLAsterichas a significant contribution to the SLA over deep basin and that its phase leads SLA 1–3months in different parts of the SCS, whereas the SLAmassexplains the SLA to a great extent over shallow water areas. The area-averaged SLA in the western SCS has an amplitude of ∼7.6cm and a phase of ∼360°, which is ∼3.8cm higher and peaks ∼108° later than SLAsteric. The SLAmasshas an amplitude of ∼6.3cm and a phase of ∼337°. The simultaneous correlation coefficient between SLA and SLAmassis 0.78, which indicates that mass variation dominates the sea-level variation in the western SCS. Unlike the western SCS, the area-averaged SLA in the central SCS peaks at 254° with a smaller amplitude of ∼3.3cm, which is ∼1.8cm lower and peaks ∼15days later than corresponding SLAsteric. The simultaneous correlation coefficient between SLA and SLAstericis 0.81; therefore, the contribution of steric variation to the sea-level variation is dominant in the central SCS.
