I can measure the height of my desk above the floor easily to within a couple of millimeters, even if I have a one - meter uncertainty in its absolute height above sea level.

This approximation (very) closely tracks sea - level rise from 1880 to 2000 by assuming that the rate at which height increases is a strict linear function of the temperature with a straight averaging of the calculated rate for a period from 15 years before to the point in time for which height is being calculated (i.e., the embedding period).

Estimates of sea level rise also contributed to the modelled changes in surge height.

The Metro East coast regional study that was done as part of the US National Assessment brought to light the expected tidal surge height for NY City in the event of a category 3 hurricane at high tide — and it is over 20 feet — without sea level rise.

In order to use tidal gauges to reliably estimate global sea level changes, researchers have to successfully separate the components of shifting land heights and local sea level variability from any global trends.

So, in theory, this measurement could be converted into a measure of the sea surface height, i.e., the mean sea level.

In both periods sea level reached heights at least 4 - 6 meters (13 - 20 feet) greater than today.

I think the appeal in engaging with SebastianH is that he actually believes that CO2 functions like a «blanket» in the atmosphere and thus warms the oceans, melts glaciers at their base, raises sea levels to catastrophic heights, acidifies the oceans, kills off 30,000 species per year, browns the Earth (desertification), etc., and that he is so convinced of the «rightness» of his beliefs that he thinks anyone who disagrees must be insane, stupid, mathematically challenged, a conspiracy theorist, etc..

Human emissions are for 90 % in the NH and one can see that the increase is measured at sea level (Barrow) in the NH first, reaching the same level some 6 months later at height (Mauna Loa) then in the SH at sea level (Samoa) some 15 months later and then in the SH at height (South Pole) some 2 years later:

Things like sea level rise, wave heights, high and low water in rivers, hurricane tracks, and storm surges are all based on historical data with the occasional consideration of possible extremes events based on theory.

Tonyb, In response to your first post I think you should be aware that Grindsted et al. 2010 addressed the Sea Level Rise Issue for the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and has shown that sea levels at the peak height of the MWP were 12 - 22 cm higher than todSea Level Rise Issue for the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and has shown that sea levels at the peak height of the MWP were 12 - 22 cm higher than todsea levels at the peak height of the MWP were 12 - 22 cm higher than today.

During this time, the islands were subjected to ongoing sea level rise and the passage of a notable typhoon... which caused severe damage with its > 100 knot winds and abnormal wave heights... caused a decrease in total island land area of approximately five percent, yet Ford and Kench write that «despite [this] significant typhoon - driven erosion and a relaxation period coincident with local sea - level rise, [the] islands have persisted and grown.»

Measuring sea level in this manner requires an assumption that we knew the height of these locations accurately at the time of the flooding.
