The smooth trend curves plotted are fitted, providing a visual as to
where sea level acceleration and deceleration have been, and indicate where they might be going.
Not exact matches
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).
Javier: I'm still waiting for you you to show me
where the IPCC projected an
acceleration in
sea -
level rise currently.

where after studying tide gauges (instead of relying on failing models) they conclude: Our analyses do not indicate
acceleration in
sea level in U.S. tide gauge records during the 20th century.
