Sentences with phrase «local sea level variability»

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.

The overarching goal of this WCRP research effort, led by WCRP's Core Project «Climate and Ocean Variability, Predictability and Change» (CLIVAR) as a Research Focus, is to establish a quantitative understanding of the natural and anthropogenic mechanisms of regional to local sea level variability; to promote advances in observing systems required for an integrated sea level monitoring; and to foster the development of sea level predictions and projections that are of increasing benefit for coastal zone management.

Not exact matches

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

However, this is complicated by non-tidal, short - term, local sea - level variability that is orders of magnitude greater than the trend.»
