INVESTIGATION OF BLACK SEA MEAN SEA LEVEL VARIABILITY BY SINGULAR SPECTRUM ANALYSIS

Geographic Variability of Sea-Level Change

Local sea-level changes differ significantly from global-mean sea-level change as a result of (1) non-climatic, geological background processes; (2) atmosphere/ocean dynamics; and (3) the gravitational, elastic, and rotational “fingerprint” effects of ice and ocean mass redistribution. Though the research communities working on these different effects each have a long history, the integration o...

Investigation of Oil Spill Distribution in the Southern Caspian Sea Affected by Seasonal Variability Impacts

Because of environmental sensitivity of the Caspian Sea, any subsea oil spills and blowouts can inflict destructive impacts on marine environment and cause catastrophic damage in the area. Employing mathematical simulation is one of the easiest and most effective prediction tools for understanding the oil spill behavior under various environmental forces. In this regard, Mike3D simulation packa...

Trends in UK Mean Sea Level Revisited

This paper presents estimates of rates of mean sea level (MSL) change around the UK based on a larger tide gauge data set and more accurate analysis methods than have been employed so far. The spatial variation of the trend in MSL is found to be similar to that inferred from geological information and from advanced geodetic techniques, which is a similar conclusion to that arrived at in previou...

Hybrid 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...
