Also the error bars went away at some point even though glacial isostatic rebound is relatively new and would affect tide gauge readings prior to satellite measurement (i.e. how glacial rebound was discovered).

Note that this sampling noise in the tide gauge data most likely comes from the water sloshing around in the ocean under the influence of winds etc., which looks like sea - level change if you only have a very limited number of measurement points, although this process can not actually change the true global - mean sea level.

Modern tide gauge and satellite measurements indicate that sea level rise has accelerated further within the 20th Century.
