Considerations for Estimating the 20th Century Trend in Global Mean Sea Level
Recent efforts in reconstructing historical sea level change have led to a range of published estimates for the global mean sea level trend over the last century. Disagreement in these estimates can be attributed to two factors: (1) differences in analysis and/or reconstruction techniques and (2) differences in tide gauge selection and quality control of the data. Here the impact of tide gauge ...
متن کاملA 20th century acceleration in global sea-level rise
[1] Multi-century sea-level records and climate models indicate an acceleration of sea-level rise, but no 20th century acceleration has previously been detected. A reconstruction of global sea level using tide-gauge data from 1950 to 2000 indicates a larger rate of rise after 1993 and other periods of rapid sea-level rise but no significant acceleration over this period. Here, we extend the rec...
متن کاملReconciling past changes in Earth’s rotation with 20th century global sea-level rise: Resolving Munk’s enigma
In 2002, Munk defined an important enigma of 20th century global mean sea-level (GMSL) rise that has yet to be resolved. First, he listed three canonical observations related to Earth's rotation [(i) the slowing of Earth's rotation rate over the last three millennia inferred from ancient eclipse observations, and changes in the (ii) amplitude and (iii) orientation of Earth's rotation vector ove...
متن کاملHybrid Decade-mean Global Sea Level
Improved global mean sea level is obtained by combining two datasets: large-scale mean sea level based on measurements of twin-satellite mission GRACE and mesoscale sea level tilt derived from the momentum balance as seen in drifter, satellite altimeter and wind data. Hybrid product reveals complex structures of main currents even after averaging over 10 years and shows their places in the larg...
متن کاملAssessing the Impact of Vertical Land Motion on Twentieth Century Global Mean Sea Level Estimates
Near-global and continuous measurements from satellite altimetry have provided accurate estimates of global mean sea level in the past two decades. Extending these estimates further into the past is a challenge using the historical tide gauge records. Not only is sampling nonuniform in both space and time, but tide gauges are also affected by vertical land motion (VLM) that creates a relative s...
