A Satellite Lets Scientists See Antarctica’s Melting Like Never Before

From 2003 to 2019 the continent had lost enough ice to raise sea levels by six millimeters, or about one-quarter of an inch.

Two questions:
Why did the article fail to mention how much ice had been gained ?
And where is the data showing the actual rise in the sea levels either from Antarctica or Greenland?
I don’t even know if they can measure sea levels to a third of an inch.
