Contribution of Land Water Storage Change to Regional Sea-Level Rise Over the Twenty-First Century

Change in Land Water Storage (LWS) is one of the main components driving sea-level rise over twenty-first century. LWS alteration results from both human activities and climate change. Up to now, all change are usually quantified upon a certain scenario except land water changes. Here, we propose improve this by analyzing contribution regional considering five Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models forced three different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) greenhouse gas emission scenarios. For analysis, used output global hydrological resources model, PCR-GLOBWB 2, order project patterns. Projections ensemble means indicate range LWS-driven with larger differences projections among than between Our suggest that will contribute around 10% projected mean end Contribution be considerably several regions, up 60% higher average rise, including Pacific islands, south coast Africa west Australia.
