Contribution of climate-driven change in continental water storage to recent sea-level rise.
Using a global model of continental water balance, forced by interannual variations in precipitation and near-surface atmospheric temperature for the period 1981-1998, we estimate the sea-level changes associated with climate-driven changes in storage of water as snowpack, soil water, and ground water; storage in ice sheets and large lakes is not considered. The 1981-1998 trend is estimated to ...
متن کاملClimate Change: The Impacts of Sea Level Rise on Egypt
Introduction Sea level changes are caused by several natural phenomenon; the three primary contributing ones are: ocean thermal expansion, glacial melt from Greenland and Antarctica (plus a smaller contribution from other ice sheets), and change in terrestrial storage. Among those, ocean thermal expansion has been expected to be the dominating factor behind the rise in sea level. However, new d...

متن کاملClimate-change–driven accelerated sea-level rise detected in the altimeter era
Using a 25-y time series of precision satellite altimeter data from TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3, we estimate the climate-change-driven acceleration of global mean sea level over the last 25 y to be 0.084 ± 0.025 mm/y2 Coupled with the average climate-change-driven rate of sea level rise over these same 25 y of 2.9 mm/y, simple extrapolation of the quadratic implies global mean...
متن کاملMemoranda Climate Change , Sea Level Rise and Dutch Defense Strategies
This paper provides a concise evaluation of Dutch defense strategies against the threats of the sea level rise as a consequence of global climate change. A set of (external) event scenarios for sea level rise is described ranging from a modest to a dramatic rise. Next, four different policy response scenarios are presented, while their related costs are confronted with the threats of the event ...
