In a second step, we apply the method to reconstructing 2 - D sea level
data over 1950 — 2003, combining sparse
tide gauge records available since 1950, with EOF spatial patterns from different sources: (1) thermosteric sea level grids over 1955 — 2003, (2) sea level grids from Topex / Poseidon satellite altimetry over 1993 — 2003, and (3) dynamic height grids from the SODA reanalysis over 1958 — 2001.
Shown is the past history of sea level since the year 1700 from proxy
data (sediments, purple) and multiple
records from
tide gauge measurements.
In Aden, similar to Karachi and Mumbai and other
tide gauges of the area, a single -
tide gauge record is the result of multiple sets of
data subjectively coupled together.
Looking at global
data (rather than
tide gauge records just from the U.S.) show that sea level rise has been increasing since 1880.
This is a global
data set, and it's a worldwide average so its shows vastly less noise than individual
tide gauge records.
Tide -
gauge data from Diego Garcia (1988 — 2000, and 2003 — 2011) show no statistically significant long - term rise, whilst the rates of rise obtained from the satellite altimeter
record for 1993 — 2011 span the range of 0.16 — 4.56 mm yr − 1 in the surrounding sea areas (70 — 74 ° E and 4 — 9 ° S) and are also consistent with a zero rate except in the far south of the region... this has been a relatively stable physical environment, and that these low - lying coral islands should continue to be able to support human habitation, as they have done for much of the last 200 years.

data set is more reliable: the apples - to - apples one that uses continuous
records throughout the measured time period (i.e., proxy evidence,
tide gauges), or the apples - to - oranges
data set that has been spliced and combined and changed to fit biases and models?
I do hope that the (much - hyped) issue of global sea - level rise and putative recent acceleration will be examined seriously here as a geophysical problem and not be subjected to summary number - crunching by inept blog lions who naively think that simple detrending of highly different
tide -
gauge records alleviates all issues of establishing a common
datum - level.
Estimates from proxy
data1 (for example, based on sediment
records) are shown in red (1800 - 1890, pink band shows uncertainty),
tide gauge data in blue for 1880 - 2009,2 and satellite observations are shown in green from 1993 to 2012.3 The future scenarios range from 0.66 feet to 6.6 feet in 2100.4 These scenarios are not based on climate model simulations, but rather reflect the range of possible scenarios based on other kinds of scientific studies.
Individual
tide gauge records can't tell us about SLR in units of cm / decade, because it takes perhaps 5 decades of
data to obtain a usefully narrow confidence interval.
I've been updating the
tide -
gauge - only
record from Church & White 2011 using psmsl
data (about 700
tide gauge records in total though about 200 reporting at any one time) and find trends up to 2012 are very much consistent with satellite
data.
Global mean sea level is measured using
tide gauge records and also, since 1993, satellite
data.
Long - term, independent
records from weather stations, satellites, ocean buoys,
tide gauges, and many other
data sources all confirm that our nation, like the rest of the world, is warming.
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.
The former hasn't ever directly compared satellite
data with
tide -
gauge records over the exact same period, and the latter just lies about it, and sea - level change in general.
