Frequent Questions

  • Is sedimentation in the oceans accounted for in the GMSL estimate?
  • What is the format of the dates in the GMSL time series?
  • Why is the GMSL different than local tide gauge measurements?
  • What determines the x-intercept (i.e., "zero-crossing" or "base year") of the GMSL plots?
  • How often are the global mean sea level estimates updated?
