The interpretation of the data is probably trickier than we'd like to admit--take a look:Notice how some areas actually have a negative anomaly for the period while others have a positive? You've got an awful lot of factors at play like erosion of the land surfaces and transport of the sediments to the ocean; removal of groundwater for irrigation; removal of oil, gas and coal; precipitation of the hydrogen-to-water process of burning hydrocarbons; the proton stream (hydrogen) from the sun that hits the upper atmosphere and ultimately rains down as water when it combines with oxygen; thermal expansion of topwater in some areas of the ocean (the red-shifted areas in the map above); some melting of ice that has occurred because we really were warming there for awhile; isostatic changes... maybe they all add up.
