Recent Relative Sea-level Change in Eastern North America

Eigenanalysis of tide-gauge records between 1920 and 1983 in eastern North America reveals highly variable spatial and temporal patterns of relative sea-level change. Auxiliary data from numerical modeling suggest that much of the long wavelength (thousands of km) spatial patterns of sea-level change are due to post-glacial isostatic adjustment of the land surface. Filtering the isostatic compo...

Recent relative sea-level trends: an attempt to quantify the forcing factors.

Local sea-level is affected by a number of forcing factors, which all contribute to the trends observed by tide gauges. Here we use the fingerprints of main factors contributing to secular sea-level trends to construct an initial empirical model that explains best the trends in sea-level as recorded by the large number of coastal tide gauges over the last 50 years. The forcing factors considere...
