Global mean sea level is an integral of changes occurring in the climate system in response
to unforced climate variability as well as natural and anthropogenic forcing factors. Its …

Sea level is one of the 50 Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) listed by the Global Climate
Observing System (GCOS) in climate change monitoring. In the past two decades, sea level …

Regional sea level changes can deviate substantially from those of the global mean, can
vary on a broad range of timescales, and in some regions can even lead to a reversal of …

Analysis of ocean temperature and salinity data from profiling floats along with satellite
measurements of sea surface height and the time variable gravity field are used to …

An approach to analyze high‐end sea level rise is presented to provide a conceptual
framework for high‐end estimates as a function of time scale, thereby linking robust sea …

Dividing the sea-level budget into contributions from ice sheets and glaciers, the water cycle,
steric expansion, and crustal movement is challenging, especially on regional scales. Here …

Understanding sea level changes at a regional scale is important for improving local sea
level projections and coastal management planning. Sea level budget (SLB) estimates …

Since the beginning of the 1990s, sea level is routinely measured using high-precision
satellite altimetry. Over the past ∼∼ 25 years, several groups worldwide involved in …

Sea level rise is both a powerful impact of and indicator for global warming and climate
change. Observing sea level change, as well as its causes, is therefore a top priority for …

Future sea level rise arouses concern because of potentially deleterious impacts to coastal
regions. These will stem not only from the loss of land through inundation and erosion, but …
