The paper presents an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system for predicting sea level considering tide-generating forces and oceanic thermal expansion assuming a model of sea level dependence on sea surface temperature. The proposed model named TGFT-FN (tide-Generating Forces considering sea surface temperature and Fuzzy neuro-network system) is applied to predict tides at five tide gauge sites ...

Quantifying faults in manufacturing processes is a crucial concern, particularly in new manufacturing processes where continual product improvement is desired. We present an approach to incrementally diagnose fault patterns on surfaces of product components. Contemporary experimental and surface-analysis techniques are adapted at each step of the approach. Specifically, a maturing layeredmanufa...

[1] Multi-century sea-level records and climate models indicate an acceleration of sea-level rise, but no 20th century acceleration has previously been detected. A reconstruction of global sea level using tide-gauge data from 1950 to 2000 indicates a larger rate of rise after 1993 and other periods of rapid sea-level rise but no significant acceleration over this period. Here, we extend the rec...

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...

Estimating minimum ice volume during the last interglacial based on local sea-level indicators requires that these indicators are corrected for processes that alter local sea level relative to the global average. Although glacial isostatic adjustment is generally accounted for, global scale dynamic changes in topography driven by convective mantle flow are generally not considered. We use numer...

many studies since 1977, in the southern coast of caspian sea revealed that the law-setback and low-lying coastal zone have been severely and increasingly impacted by rising sea-level. this rising continued until 1995. the rate of rising was nearly 13cm per year in this period (1977-1995). the general concept of setback determination is tended to introduce a buffer area between human activities...

West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Without sea-level acceleration, the 20th-century sea-level trend of 1.7 mm/y would produce a rise of only approximately 0.15 m from 2010 to 2100; therefore, sea-level acceler...

Holocene sea-level reconstructions exist from many locations in the Indo-Pacific region. Despite being a large geographical region, the nature of Holocene sea-level change is broadly similar in all locations. Differences do exist, however, in the timing and magnitude of the Mid-Holocene High Stand (MHHS) and the nature of late Holocene sea level fall across the region. When the Indo-Pacific is ...
