Sentences with phrase «scales tide gauge records»

At the secular time scales tide gauge records present relatively small (positive or negative) accelerations, as found in other studies (Houston and Dean in J Coast Res 27:409 — 417, 2011).

Not exact matches

Tide gauges located along the world's coastlines that have been recording water levels for many decades or even centuries provide the most accurate source of information on ESL, but they are unevenly distributed (with most of them located in North America and Europe)(Menéndez and Woodworth 2010) hampering broad - scale (up to global) assessments.

A long time - scale is needed because significant multidecadal variability appears in numerous tide gauge records during 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.
