Tide gauges with the longest nearly
continuous records of
sea level show increasing
sea level over the 20th century.
Different approaches have been used to compute the mean rate of 20th century global mean
sea level (GMSL) rise from the available tide gauge data: computing average rates from only very long, nearly
continuous records; using more numerous but shorter
records and filters to separate nonlinear trends from decadal - scale quasi-periodic variability; neural network methods; computing regional
sea level for specific basins then averaging; or projecting tide gauge
records onto empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) computed from modern altimetry or EOFs from ocean models.
In examining the
record of
sea level rise for the past two millennia — this was the first
continuous sea level reconstruction of the time period, it should be noted — the scientists found that
sea level was relatively stable from 200 BCE to 1000 CE.

We can see how hard it is to construct long term
records on
sea level rise, because tide gage
records were seldom
continuous.
