Present investigations of sea level extremes are based on hourly data measured at coastal tide gauges. The use of hourly data restricts existing global and regional analyses to periods larger than 2 h. However, a number of processes occur at minute timescales, of which the most ruinous are tsunamis. Meteotsunamis, hazardous nonseismic waves that occur at tsunami timescales over limited regions,...

Measuring sea level change and understanding its causes has considerably improved in the recent years, essentially because new in situ and remote sensing observations have become available. Here we report on most recent results on contemporary sea level rise. We first present sea level observations from tide gauges over the twentieth century and from satellite altimetry since the early 1990s. W...

the aim of this research is investigating the relations between climatic large scale signals and spring rainfall of khorasan-e razavi province. in this research, we have analyzed 38 years of rainfall data in khorasan-e razavi province, located in northeastern iran. we attempted to train artificial neural network based upon climatic large scale signals with 38 years of rainfall data. for perform...

the main purpose of this study is the survey of the atmospheric low pressure effects at sea level oscillations in the qeshm channel. for this purpose, the curves of the pressure on the persian gulf and oman sea, during the passing of the atmospheric low pressure system, are extracted across the region. during the time of occurrence of these events, sea level oscillations in the coastal areas of...

Sea level reconstructions extend spatially dense data sets, such as those from satellite altimetry, by decomposing the data set into basis functions and fitting those functions to in situ tide gauge measurements with a longer temporal record. We compare and evaluate two methods for reconstructing sea level through an idealized study. The compared sea level reconstruction methods differ in the t...

Satellite altimetry and tide gauges are the two main techniques used to measure sea level. Due limitations of satellite altimetry, a high-quality unified level model from coast open ocean has traditionally been difficult achieve. This study proposes fusion approach gauge data based on deep belief network (DBN) method. Taking Mediterranean Sea as case area, progressive three-step experiment was ...

The focus of this study is the assessment of the main range and geophysical corrections needed to derive accurate sea level time series from satellite altimetry in the Indonesia seas, the ultimate aim being the determination of sea level trend for this region. Due to its island nature, this is an area of large complexity for altimetric studies, a true laboratory for coastal altimetry. For this ...

Bilal U. Haq and his co-workers have completed an important update of the chronology of coastal onlap and eustatic fluctuations in Mesozoic and Cenozoic time (1). Seismic stratigraphic results are augmented in the new charts by outcrop and well-log studies to document an impressive total of 119 sea level cycles since the beginning of the Triassic. In addition, the Cretaceous results have been p...

Changes in global sea level arising from man's activity is today a subject of wide interest and concern. A number of satellite missions, in Europe and the United States, are aimed at improving our knowledge and understanding of the ongoing changes in sea level. The ERS, Jason, CryoSat, Champ, GRACE and GOCE satellites are all aimed at contributing to aspects of the sea level problem. However, c...
