Co-author Professor Eelco Rohling, from the Australian National University and formerly of the University of Southampton, adds: «By developing a novel method that realistically approximates future sea level rise, we have been able to add new insight to the debate and show that there is substantial evidence for a significant recent acceleration in the sea level rise on a global and regional level.

He adds, «One of the main difficulties in detecting sea level accelerations is the presence of decadal and multi-decadal variations..

After over a year of sideways and downward movement from late 2015 through early 2017, the most recent NASA report shows that over the past year an acceleration in sea level rise has become visible on the NASA graph, even with just a quick glance (then again, while the long term trend is consistently upward, the annual trend is so variable, that it's likely foolish on my part to suggest a change in trend based on the most recent periods of increase which have only been occurring for less than 12 months).

From the comments section of the paper he highlighted: «Firstly, it continues to indicate that in New Zealand, at least, there has been neither a significant change in the rate of sea level rise nor any detectable acceleration.»

Here's a quote from the conclusion: «Firstly, it continues to indicate that in New Zealand, at least, there has been neither a significant change in the rate of sea level rise nor any detectable acceleration.»

Shouldn't an acceleration in ice melt show up in the sea level altimeter data?

An obvious question is how this acceleration can be possible in light of the satellite data showing sea level falling over the last 2 years.

What this tells us is that «climate - change — driven acceleration» has been assumed ahead of time, and since the raw data failed to confirm the existence of such an acceleration («In stark contrast to this expectation however, current altimeter products show the rate of sea level rise to have decreased from the first to second decades of the altimeter era.»

Gehrels, W. R., B. W. Hayward, R. M. Newnham, and K. E. Southall (2008), A 20th century acceleration of sea - level rise in New Zealand, Geophys.

If you study the data in detail, and have the «skillz» to do so, it's obvious that for estimating sea level acceleration on century time scales quadratic fits just ain't right.

The differences between the quadratic acceleration numbers come from differences in the decadal to multidecadal variability in the curves which I don't consider very robust (we have shown in Rahmstorf et al. 2012 how strongly these can be affected by a small amount of «noise» in the sea - level data).

Therefore, it is intriguing that arguments persist that because only small accelerations are presently evident, the IPCC sea level projections must be wrong, when in fact the observations over the last 20 years agree closely with the Third Assessment Report and AR4 projections and are statistically consistently with AR5 RCP8.5 projections.

And sometimes there's a bonus like this comment in that publoished science paper that reads: If sea level continues to change at this rate and acceleration,............»

Taking a step back, in my view the «big picture» on acceleration is that we have moved from a stable preindustrial sea level to one now rising at 3 mm / year (see Fig. 1 here).

The IPCC most - likely future projected moderate acceleration of sea - level rise in a warming world, but still a slow rate of change compared to the fastest rates we can envision.

Hay et al. find that the acceleration of sea - level rise since 1900 AD is larger than in previous reconstructions, but it has been generally questioned whether the quadratic acceleration (derived from a parabolic fit) is a useful number in cases where a parabola doesn't fit the data well (Rahmstorf and Vermeer 2011, Foster and Brown 2014).

This acceleration in sea level rise is consistent with a doubling in contribution from melting of glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and West - Antarctic ice sheets.

At this acceleration rate the sea level will peak in 2025 at an average level of 40 mm higher than it was in 2000.

It is possible, therefore, that the effects of recent accelerations in climate change have not yet started to have a significant contribution to or impact on current sea levels; but based on international scientific opinion, it is more a case of when, rather than if.

Assuming the current acceleration holds for the next 90 years, the sea level will be 331 mm lower in 2100 than it was in 2000.

I haven't looked at the research paper in detail, but the general slowing of sea level rise after 2004 - 2005 fits in with the sharp acceleration of heat uptake into the ocean during 2000 - 2005, and a slower rate of heat uptake thereafter.

The relatively modest acceleration in sea level so far is not a cause for great concern, but neither is it cause for comfort.

A similar pattern seems to have occurred during the 20th century too - short - term accelerations and decelerations against a background of long - term acceleration in sea level rise.

If one thinks of the the change in sea level as a «speed» then the acceleration would be the rate at which the velocity is changing.

Scientific studies have established an acceleration in sea - level rise because of a warming atmosphere.

Steve I frequently read about the «system inertia» which is delaying the acceleration in sea level rise, but I have not been able to find any creditable information that quantifies the amount of the hypothesized delay.

Some researchers have argued that the higher trends from the satellite measurements proves that there has been an «acceleration» in sea level rise, e.g., Church & White, 2006 (Abstract; Google Scholar access) or Cazenabe & Nerem, 2004 (Abstract; Google Scholar access).

Many tide gauges show no rise in sea level, and almost none show any acceleration over the past 20 years.

Consistent with the aforementioned sea level rise acceleration, a number of articles have projected global sea level rise of around 1m or more by 2100, based on past estimates of sea level rise (in response to warming) and based on melting of land ice (with thermal expansion):

But the expected acceleration due to climate change is likely hidden in the satellite record because of a happenstance of timing: The record began soon after the Pinatubo eruption, which temporarily cooled the planet, causing sea levels to drop.»
