Sentences with phrase «coastal tide gauges»

Abstract: Mean - sea - level data from coastal tide gauges in the north Indian Ocean wereare used to show that low - frequency variability is consistent among the stations in the basin.

Tide heights near ice shelves can be measured using traditional coastal tide gauges and bottom pressure recorders, while currents can be measured with meters on moorings in the open ocean or deployed through boreholes drilled through ice shelves, which are the floating portions of ice sheets.

Several countries had already set up coastal tide gauges — essentially, a float attached to a pen that traced a line on a chart — and were calculating mean sea level, defined as the average of sea level measured at regular intervals between high and low tide.

We know that sea levels are increasing thanks to the satellite observations, collated by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, as well as coastal tide gauge records monitored by Australia's leading science body, the CSIRO.

«The shock for us was that tidal flooding could become the new normal in the next 15 years; we didn't think it would be so soon,» said Melanie Fitzpatrick, one of three researchers at the nonprofit who analyzed tide gauge data and sea level projections, producing soused prognoses for scores of coastal Americans.

However, coastal sea level variability observed by tide gauges over the last few decades has been driven almost entirely by local winds.

When you use tide gauge data, you need a lot of samples, otherwise you get local coastal effects, and one station is of no use at all.

Tide gauge - A device at a coastal location (and some deep - sea locations) that continuously measures the level of the sea with respect to the adjacent land.

Twentieth century global sea level, as determined from tide gauges in coastal harbors, has been increasing by 1.7 - 1.8 mm / yr, apparently related to the recent climatic warming trend.

Analyses of tide gauge and altimetry data by Vinogradov and Ponte (2011), which indicated the presence of considerably small spatial scale variability in annual mean sea level over many coastal regions, are an important factor for understanding the uncertainties in regional sea - level simulations and projections at sub-decadal time scales in coarse - resolution climate models that are also discussed in Chapter 13.

This is one reason why coastal engineers wrote a paper urging everyone to ignore the climate model predictions on sea level and just watch the tide gauge trends.

We know, because we measured this with tide gauges that we placed in protected coastal bays.

Extensive evidence from «tide gauges, coastal morphology, stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, archaeological remains, and historical documentation» all suggest that sea levels in the Indian Ocean have effectively been stable in recent decades.

Moving forward, tracking sea - level rise will require maintenance and expansion of the monitoring of sea level (tide gauges and satellite data), ocean temperatures at depth, and local coastal motions.

In contrast, before the altimetry era, direct estimates of GMSL changes rely on the coastal network of tide gauges that provide in situ observations of sea level relative to the land.

An array of coastal benchmarks must be surveyed periodically to allow stable benchmarks to be identified and used as a reference for the tide gauge.
