GMSL Rates
CU: 3.1 ± 0.4 mm/yr
AVISO: 3.2 ± 0.6 mm/yr
CSIRO: 3.1 ± 0.4 mm/yr
NOAA: 3.2 ± 0.4 mm/yr (w/ GIA)
Frequent Questions
What determines the x-intercept (i.e., "zero-crossing" or "base year") of the GMSL plots?
Why is the GMSL different than local tide gauge measurements?
What is the definition of global mean sea level (GMSL) and its rate?
What is glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and why do you correct for it?
Can I subscribe to the mean sea level estimates?
