A trend, bias, annual, and semi-annual terms are fit simultaneously. The grids were derived by estimating at each point P on a 1°  X 1°  regular grid a weighted average of adjacent (within a 4° radius). Where, wi = exp(–σ  d2); d = spherical distance between P(φ,λ) and the data points (φi,λi); σ  = smoothness parameter defined by the half weight t, such that: exp(–σ t2) = 1/2. For our grids, we have selected t = 2°. Please note that these trends have been determined for only a ten-year period, reflecting the impact of decadal scale climate variability on the regional distribution of sea level rise.
